Average Stay with Some Issues

weak showerlimited parking
The room felt a little cramped, especially with luggage. The bathroom had a strange odor (smelled a bit like mildew), and the shower pressure was weak, I mean, really weak. The breakfast buffet was ok, but some items seemed like they had been sitting out for a while. I found the limited parking options a bit inconvenient. It was a struggle to find a space nearby.

loved the food!

the staff was super lovely and helpful too! the cooked breakfast tasted amazing, and the room was clean and very comfortable! i enjoyed a box of chocolates that was a free gift in the room.
the check-in time was too late. it was at 4pm. i wanted to handover the key or check out until 8.30am. i was unable to leave at 7am because nobody answered the door or reception open.
