i found the staff very responsive when i needed assistance . the breakfast included a variety of options and the service was quick. i appreciated the ample parking available and found it easy to come and go as i pleased. the location proved convenient for nearby attractions.
the room was smaller than i expected and lacked adequate space for luggage storage. the limited space made it somewhat difficult to move around freely.
