practical stay

mini fridge free parking good value

The room featured a mini fridge. It was useful. the free parking on the premises was a great benefit. the price aligned well with what the hotel offered (i thought it was a good deal). i was there for a short overnight stay.

i noticed the power point in the bathroom was loose. it seemed like a potential hazard. i think it should be checked before new guests arrive.

Dining

peeling paint small shower

the room was small, and i found some issues. the shower area felt particularly cramped. i also noticed peeling paint in the bathroom, it really detracted from the overall feel. this hotel needs some updates.

good dining appealing convenience free parking

the location offered a short stroll to good dining spots. i found complimentary coffee and tea an appealing convenience. free parking was available which simplified my travel plans greatly.

the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan which caused some steam buildup after showering.
