the shower pressure was quite weak. the wi-fi signal was also inconsistent. parking availability at the hotel was a real issue. i ended up having to park on the street one night, inconvenient.

large room usb ports good breakfast poor wi-fi insufficient parking bad pressure

The room was very large I really appreciated that. It had plenty of sockets and USB ports which was super handy. The breakfast was also really good it made my mornings great.

The shower did not have very good pressure I was not impressed. The Wi-Fi was poor this made it difficult to stream. I noticed insufficient car parking this was a problem.

grease smell inoperable remote

The breakfast was acceptable. Plenty of choice i suppose.

My room faced some sort of back alley and smelled faintly of grease, not exactly appealing. the television remote didn't work properly. Changing channels was a real chore. also, the promised 'free parking' turned out to be a tiny lot with spaces tighter than a sardine can.
