wood panelling walk-in shower

The dark wood panelling. I found no walk-in shower. It caused me problems because of my hip. The receptionist told me there are no rooms with a walk-in shower. They gave me a mat and step, but it was not enough.

an adequate stay.

excellent location polite staff accessible parking disappointing breakfast noisy aircon unit limited bathroom

The location proved excellent for my needs. the staff members were quite polite and accommodating. I appreciated their assistance. i also found accessible parking right in front of the building.

The breakfast offerings disappointed me. the air conditioning unit in the room was quite noisy. the bathroom space was limited. Using the wash basin felt cramped.
