a bar serving tasty tacos is right next to the hotel. i also noted a good breakfast spot within the same building, so there are convenient food choices. a grocery store is conveniently located across the road.

the parking facilities were quite convenient and easily accessible a very welcome aspect given the location
i found the lack of soundproofing between rooms quite problematic i could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms this impacted my sleep quality and overall comfort i also noted the absence of a sink within the bathroom which was inconvenient it necessitated using the same sink for both personal hygiene and washing up duties.
