underwhelming stay

missing cable overpriced breakfast
the free parking was definitely a plus.
The tv in my double room sofa just didn't work, and when i called, they told me to fix it myself. A cable was missing. also, breakfast felt overpriced for what i got. i mean, come on, at least make the tv work.
