Decent Stay with Some Minor Issues

convenient parkingclean roomuncomfortable bedmissing instructions
The parking spot was right outside the room, which I found very convenient. The room was spacious and clean, which I always appreciate (it makes settling in much easier).
The bed was not very comfortable. I woke up with a sore back. It also took a while to figure out the shower. I could not find instructions.

the location was acceptable, within a short WALK to local amenities.
I found the provided toiletries TO BE minimal. the shower pressure fluctuated unpredictably, often shifting from weak to strong streams. MOST disappointingly, the promised free wifi proved unreliable. I was unable to connect consistently .
