adequate stay overall

big roomcomfortable mattresshot waterdated roomlate check-outfully booked
the room was really big. i found it clean. the mattress was comfortable. hot water was available all-day long. parking lots had plenty of space.
the hotel is old and the rooms appear dated. my biggest issue was with the late check-out option. the reception told me i could not get a late check-out because the hotel was fully booked (though i had an agreement).

the room was really big, a plus for a longer stay.
i found the breakfast quite disappointing (i expected more). there was very little choice, and the water and juice machine was not working at all, a shame as i was really thirsty in the morning. it impacted the start of my day.
