Mixed Feelings About the Stay
dog smelllate breakfastslow checkout
The room smelled strongly of dogs, unpleasant considering I do not own dogs. I found this off-putting (a real problem for allergy sufferers). Breakfast started quite late at 08:30. This proved inconvenient as I prefer an earlier start to the day. checking out took an excessive amount of time due to login issues the employee experienced.
