adequate stay with drawbacks

missing en suite high price

The room lacked an en suite. i also found the price to be quite high, especially considering the room amenities, or lack thereof. i understand prices may be higher on certain nights. But this felt excessive. the room itself was acceptable. But the cost did not align with the overall experience.

small sink street noise

The sink in my "double room" was quite small. also, i noticed some noise from the street late at night. It made it a little difficult to fall asleep. i wish there was better soundproofing. these small issues did impact my overall experience a bit. hopefully, they can address these concerns to make future stays more restful.

welcome package mini fridge missing shower high price

our room was spotlessly clean and we got a generous welcome package. it even had some snacks! free parking was a plus and worked out well, since we had rented a car for a roadtrip. another bonus, a mini fridge!

i hadn't realised the room didn't have en suite shower or toilet. the price seemed extortionate for the room to me. it was clearly not atypical for that night, though.
