slightly disappointing, nothing special

small roomthin walls
i stayed one night and i must say the room was pretty small. it felt more like a budget option instead of what i paid. also, the walls seemed like paper, i could hear everything happening in the rooms next door. not the best for a good night's sleep.

The parking area was huge. It provided ample space for all guests. The staff members were friendly. They gave us excellent tips for exploring the nearby attractions. The optional evening meal was very nice. I enjoyed it after a long day.
The room was big, but very basic. I noticed the floorboards were uneven. They creaked loudly. The shower facility needed improvement. The flow of water came in small bursts. It was difficult to take a proper shower.
