Decent Stay, Some Issues

I found some aspects lacking. The parking situation was not great. There seemed to be a limited number of small spaces, and it cost extra. The TV only had a few channels. I expected more from a hotel like this.

the shower had decent pressure, always a relief after a long journey. it met my basic needs, i suppose.
the television offered a paltry selection of channels. i discovered the lack of variety when i attempted to unwind after a tedious day. the remote barely functioned, causing constant frustration. i expected better from a hotel of this supposed caliber.
