average stay with some issues

long walk cramped bathroom

i could store my luggage prior to check in because of my early arrival time.

The location was a bit of a letdown. The walk to the main attractions was quite long at 2 miles. the bathroom felt cramped and outdated. there was no way to cool the room and it got quite warm.

helpful staff clean conditions comfortable rooms late breakfast small shower uneven bed

The staff was very helpful and efficient. I noticed everything was clean. Rooms provided comfortable conditions for a peaceful night's sleep.

I arrived around 7:15 pm and was told it was too late to book breakfast for the next morning. The shower was small (I bumped my elbows every time I moved). The bed was uneven and sloped, so I kept slipping towards the edge.
