Adequate Stay

good selection friendly service good quality tight parking bathroom door shower regulation
The breakfast offered a good selection. It arrived promptly. The service was also quite friendly. Dinner at the hotel on both nights of my stay proved satisfactory. The food seemed of good quality. The service remained friendly and fast.
The parking spots available were tight. This made parking a challenge. The bathroom door would not close properly. The shower proved hard to regulate. The television subtitles often looked spontaneously while I watched.
