clean room ample parking smart technology distant location steep hill dinner reservation
The room was very clean upon arrival. i appreciated the ample on-site parking. It made coming and going very easy. the smart technology in the room was a nice touch. It allowed me to adjust the lighting and temperature easily.
I was disappointed that the hotel is located a bit far from the town. walking was difficult because of a steep hill. i also found the dinner reservation process to be inconvenient. The restaurant was fully booked when i checked online. the front desk was helpful in securing a table though.
