Convenient and Comfortable Stay

good selectionhelpful staffcomfortable beddifficult gate
The breakfast had a good selection, enough to satisfy hunger until lunch. Barbara from the staff was accommodating and helpful . She promptly provided a bottle opener and cutlery when I requested them. The bed provided for my child was comfortable. Adults could even sleep on it.
The internet was free but required a username and password, which I could not find anywhere. The parking gate was difficult to spot, as the yellow wall blended with the building. These minor issues could use some attention.

The breakfast had enough options to satisfy basic needs. I found the selection acceptable.
The check-in time felt rather late, beginning only at 3 PM. This made it difficult to settle in and get organized. the room lacked a refrigerator. This was an inconvenience for keeping drinks cold. THERE was no way to chill any beverages.
