really good lodging experience
king sized bed ample parking
I found the breakfast service to be superb. The staff were attentive. our room boasted a comfortable king sized bed, and the temperature was well regulated. i appreciated that the hotel was generally well decorated with ample parking.
during my stay, i noted the absence of water bottles in the rooms. this oversight seemed rather inconvenient, especially in the middle of the night. it felt a little uncomfortable to lack this basic amenity.
