Acceptable stay with minor issues

stocked kitchenetteconvenient parkingoutside noisemissing amenity

I enjoyed the well-stocked kitchenette. It had all the utensils needed to cook meals. The views of the mountains from the room were also a highlight. They were REALLY excellent. Plus, the parking spot was conveniently located right in front of the room. This made loading and unloading luggage easy.

The room lacked air conditioning or a fan. This meant I needed to open the doors and windows for ventilation. opening the windows led to a lot of outside noise and biting flies. It was quite annoying. the room I booked should have had a tub with water jets. I received a disabled-accommodating room.
