The room i booked lacked an ensuite bathroom. It was a significant inconvenience. using the shared facilities was like a compromise. furthermore. this meant finding alternative dining options. Which wasn't ideal.

Free parking was available. Free WiFi was also available. The room was super clean and cozy (I found the bed particularly good). Breakfast was basic but decent.

The bar was open quite late. Music was very loud. This made it hard to sleep at night. The food I ordered was below average.
