the reception staff showed kindness. the breakfast provided a delicious start each morning. the central location proved ideal for exploring. the discounted parking rate at a nearby garage was useful. this allowed convenient access to my vehicle without the hassle of searching for street parking. the bed was very comfy. the shower was great.
the lighting was quite dim in the room. this made it difficult to read or work comfortably in the evenings.
