handy kitchenetteeasy busfree spacesfresh croissants
the room had a kitchenette, handy for preparing light meals. i also liked that the bus stop was right outside making it easy to get around.
parking was a bit tricky since there were no free spaces on site. some of the continental breakfast items were not super fresh, especially the croissants, i did want better croissants.
