RELAXING stay by the park

beautiful parklandeasy check-infree coffeewater damage
The hotel is NEXT to beautiful parkland. I walked to the stadium in about 30 minutes for a football match. The staff was professional and check-in was easy. The room included free coffee and a bottle of water.
The room was dated and somewhat unkempt. I found some trash in the closet and dust on the furniture. The mini bar had some water damage.

The breakfast had a nice selection. I liked the choice of cheeses. There WAS a terrace with a view of the lake. The available options included pastries that tasted delicious AND fresh.
