The breakfast offered many choices including gluten free options. The hotel has plentiful parking behind the building for a reasonable daily fee. A large supermarket is located very close to the hotel which was convenient. The staff were friendly and quickly addressed my needs.
The room lacked usb charging ports so i had to use an adapter.

The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed assistance.
The room looked quite dated. I found the television connection unreliable, constantly dropping out. Some tiles in the bathroom were broken and the sink had a noticeable crack (small things, I know, but they add up).
