convenient parking helpful staff adequate room size ineffective air conditioning limited ventilation additional fee
The location proved advantageous. Parking was convenient. The staff at reception was helpful. I found the room size quite adequate.
The air conditioning did not work adequately. My room became uncomfortably warm, and the windows would not open wide enough to provide sufficient ventilation.

rock hard sugars sticky coffee tray
I encountered a couple of problems . The sugars in my room were rock solid. They seemed to have gotten wet at some point. The coffee tray also felt tea stained and sticky. The sausages at breakfast tasted reheated and the orange juice was similar to squash.
