The bed was very comfortable (i slept like a log).

The shower leaked badly. The bathroom floor was like a swimming pool after each use. I informed the hotel, but i never received a response. I find this lack of follow-up unprofessional and disappointing.

The room had good facilities. Cutlery and dishware were provided. I had a pleasant view of a pine populated street. Pines are one of my favourite trees. The entry system was easy to use.

The parking was not very good. I had to get up and move my car at 8am. This was not conducive to a relaxing lie in.
