Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Encountered

The room was clean. I will say that.
The access to the hotel proved icy and slippery. A hazard given the bitter winter weather. It seems like nobody bothered to ensure guest safety, really

Mediocre Stay. Disappointing Details

slow room serviceroad noise
My stay had a couple of significant drawbacks. That detracted from the overall experience. The room service was slow. This caused a considerable delay in receiving my dinner. The noise from the nearby road was noticeable and disturbed my sleep. It was hard to relax! The disturbance impacted the comfort of my stay.
