Underwhelming Stay, Despite Expectations

convenient locationsmall roomdriveway view
The location proved convenient with its proximity to the town center.
I found the room quite small for the price paid. The terrace overlooked the driveway. This meant I heard every vehicle arriving and departing. Sleep was difficult due to the noise, especially late at night. Breakfast was simple and did not meet my expectations given the cost.

the location was acceptable. the staff seemed friendly enough.
our room was not what i expected. it was listed as a 'beautiful king room', but felt small and cramped. the promised mountain view was mostly blocked by trees and the air conditioning barely worked. the breakfast selection was limited and often ran out of items early, leaving me to settle for toast.
