Underwhelming Stay Despite the Reputation

acceptable breakfastsmall roomineffective fan

The breakfast selection was acceptable.

The room felt quite small. The bathroom fan barely worked. Steam filled the space after a short shower, possibly triggering the fire alarm. Paying so much for a room with such a poor shower was frustrating.
