A Few Issues Detracted From the Stay
food smell cramped bathroom
The entrance had a noticeable smell of food, which I didn't like. Finding the parking area behind the building was also tricky. The access wasn't very clear. Our room, a King Room, felt a bit cramped, especially the bathroom. It made it hard to move around easily. I expected more space for the price.

the breakfast was good, offering several choices.
The entrance reeked of food. I found this quite unpleasant. The bathroom was cramped. There were too many signs dictating what i could and couldn't do, almost like a child being constantly scolded. the stay felt less relaxing than i had hoped.
