the breakfast was acceptable..

my room had a strong smell of wet dog, really unpleasant. the noise from the room above kept me awake for much of the night, i could hear every footstep and even when they used the shower. it made for a very restless night and i ended up smelling like a wet dog myself the next day.

The check-in process was easy. parking availability was a definite plus. the proximity to local dining options enhanced my experience, granting me choices for dinner. the breakfast was great with fresh seasonal fruit and greek yoghurt. It became a morning ritual i cherished.

the room's interior seemed a little dated. it lacked that modern touch.
