I found the room clean. It felt refreshing. the location offered such easy access to the town, which i valued. parking onsite made things convenient, a big relief! everything aligned for an lovely experience, a dream come true.
The shower was a bit small. I found it just a touch cramped for a relaxing experience. it was still functional, of course, but slightly less spacious than anticipated.

lacking fanbroken toilet
I stayed for three nights but housekeeping did not come to the room at all. The room got very warm with the weather. A fan would have been nice. Noise from the road was constant day and night. The toiletries consisted of a small bar of soap. The toilet door handle was loose. The toilet seat was broken.

The room size exceeded my expectations.. It provided ample space to relax after exploring. I also found on-site parking very convenient. It reduced the stress of finding parking elsewhere. The self check-in process was straightforward. Clear instructions allowed for a seamless arrival at any time.
