mixed experience with some notable issues
convenient accessinsect bitespoor breakfast
the location was acceptable and provided convenient access to nearby amenities.
I encountered some significant problems . Specifically, i woke up covered in insect bites, which i suspect were from bed bugs. this caused considerable discomfort and impacted my overall experience negatively. also, the breakfast was quite poor with limited options and no dedicated seating area.
