lukewarm showerbed stains
The shower temperature was a real issue. It remained lukewarm no matter what (I expect a hot shower after a long day!). The cleaning also seemed subpar. I noticed stains on the bed frame fabric, off-putting. It definitely needs a better cleaning.

breakfast buffetmascara stainhard beds
the breakfast buffet was quite good. guests had unlimited access to both tea and coffee alongside the continental options.
I found an eyelash stuck to the bedside table. moreover, mascara stained the pillow when i turned it over. the beds themselves were uncomfortably hard. This detracted significantly from my experience, i expect a more comfortable sleeping arrangement.

The parking was available on site and convenient.
The room looked undercleaned. I noticed some stains on the bed fabric. I also found a line of dust and grime along the edges of the room (it seemed a vacuum with the proper attachment had not been used).

easy gettingthin wallsdisruptive noise
the location was acceptable, it made getting around fairly easy.
the noise levels were quite disruptive, especially at night. i think the walls are very thin, because i could hear conversations and other noises from neighboring rooms and the hallway. this made it really hard for me to relax and get a good night's sleep.
