basic room limited menu
ample parking was available at the hotel.
the room was clean, but i thought it was quite basic for the price, so i felt a little disappointed. also, i find the absence of steak or chicken from the restaurant menu quite limiting. it really makes it hard to find something i really want to eat.

Mixed Feelings about the Stay
scalding hot shower inedible breakfast
I was given a disabled room with a shower room. The shower water was scalding hot. I could not adjust the temperature to a comfortable level. Breakfast was also pretty bad. It was inedible, and tables were left with dirty dishes.
