slow drainreception communication

The free parking was a nice perk. I was disappointed to find out I had to pay for parking. The reception never told me about free parking registration. the room had issues. The shower drain was slow, and it took a while for the water to drain properly.

Acceptable Stay near the City

The room was clean and the beds felt great. Breakfast at the hotel tasted good. I think there is room for improvement, though. Staff were helpful. They were cute and friendly.

The location proved to be a problem for me. I understood it was nearer the center. There was nothing except a gym where the hotel is situated. The nearest bus stop was a ten minute walk away.
