Acceptable Stay with Parking Issues
nice breakfastfull parking
The breakfast was very nice.
I had trouble with parking. I booked with parking as a filter, but the hotel parking was full upon arrival. I drove around for an hour without finding a spot and ultimately had to park in front of another car, leaving my keys with the staff. Overnight parking cost me extra, even though it wasn't a designated space.

I found the parking situation frustrating. I booked, because I saw parking as a filter. Upon arrival, I discovered their parking was full (and they didn't mention anything about this in advance). I had to park on the street, spending an hour searching for a spot. The room felt basic, more like a budget chain and not worth the cost.
