The room felt really small and a bit dated. the bathroom had some issues. There was a crack in the sink and some black marks in the shower. the breakfast service was a bit inflexible. I asked to swap a fried egg for scrambled but was told they were too busy to accommodate.

I liked the convenient location. I found parking available near the hotel upon arrival. It had a two-hour limit. Returning later, I saw plenty of free overnight parking spaces. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. Nothing looked too much trouble for them.
The bathroom looked a bit tired. I noticed a crack in the sink .
