A Relatively Good Hotel

friendly staff comfortable bed spacious bathroom cramped room lacking quality supply issue
The breakfast included many options. The staff was friendly. The hotel's location allowed easy access to many attractions. The room included a spacious bathroom. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Detailed instructions simplified finding the hotel by car.
The room was a bit cramped despite upgrading. Coffee and milk were not automatically refreshed. I needed to find a cleaner for additional supplies.

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues Need Addressing

bad smell non-functional ac
A persistent odor came from the bathroom's drainage system. I would not want a longer stay. The air conditioning did not work, and that affected my comfort, it was too hot. These issues need correcting promptly. The hotel location is good, but these faults marred my visit.
