cramped roomslow breakfast

the room i booked, a double or twin room, felt a bit cramped. i also thought the breakfast service was a little slow. i waited quite some time for my order one morning. the wait staff seemed overwhelmed even though the dining room wasn't completely full. hopefully they address the staffing or kitchen efficiency soon, as it impacted the overall experience a tad.

the room was very clean. the breakfast offered a good variety (i particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit). the staff were very helpful in providing information about local walks.

the parking lot was quite small. i found the old carpets in the restaurant slightly off-putting. the waitress's loud voice when taking orders was a little startling (i think she could lower it a bit).
