adequate stay with some shortcomings
parking fee early breakfast
the parking fee was an unexpected extra expense, a charge i found rather irritating. also, the breakfast buffet ended rather early on sunday. we arrived with twenty minutes to spare, but staff seemed eager to pack everything away. was great, not a good start to the day.
