A Satisfactory Stay

clean roomnice breakfastair conditioningold fan
My room was clean. Breakfast offered a nice selection of items. The location is close to the Dart station. I found that very convenient for getting around.
The room lacked air conditioning. An old fan was provided. I found the room became hot. There was no coffee machine provided, only a kettle.

The front desk was friendly. They made sure my expectations was met when I arrive. The restaurant staff was also great. They make a great meal for me on my last day.
I find that resident pay for the parking and I think it's greedy. They should get free parking in my humble opinion. I found a eastern european barmaid very rude and we ignore her.
