spacious roomimpersonal serviceroad noise
The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep.
The service felt impersonal. I was like just another room number. Breakfast was included, but the selection was limited, and the quality was mediocre (the bacon was strangely chewy). Finally, the noise from the nearby road made it difficult to relax during the day.
