Many guests appreciate the large and clean rooms, some featuring powerful rain showers.

the parking situation was certainly a headache. i did not book it directly and was unaware i needed to reserve parking. finding a spot felt unnecessarily difficult (it was quite stressful). also, i found the breakfast to be quite expensive for what was on offer.
