stale pastries difficult temperature

The breakfast was nothing special. I expected more variety. The pastries seemed a bit stale, and the hot food was lukewarm. The room temperature was difficult to regulate (it was either too hot or too cold). I couldn't find a comfortable setting.

The parking was difficult to find and expensive. the signage directing to the parking area was unclear. I drove around for quite a while. i was also surprised by the high cost of parking per day. it felt excessive.

convenient location friendly staff nice lounge single bed sewer smell inaccurate pictures

The location was very convenient. It was easy to reach both the train station and the main town. I appreciated the doughnuts on arrival and the friendly, helpful staff! The lounge space downstairs was also nice.

The double bed consisted of two single beds. This arrangement made it difficult to sleep comfortably with enough space. I noticed a strange smell from the sewer in the bathroom, maybe bad piping.
