adequate room sufficient size rude staff poor parking

the room size was adequate for my needs during this stay.

The front desk staff exhibited a superior attitude. I found them to be rather rude. the parking situation was also unacceptable, with guests parking haphazardly and the hotel seemingly indifferent.

the tv channel selection was a bit limited. i couldn't stream anything from my phone because the hotel wifi wasn't working with chromecast. it was pretty annoying.

faulty shower slow breakfast

The food in the restaurant was AMAZING!!!

The shower temperature control did not work properly one evening. It only provided scalding hot water. The extractor fan was also not working in the bathroom. It steamed up completely. Breakfast was slow one morning. I found it very disappointing.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

busy parking slow service

The parking situation upon arrival was quite frustrating. It was busy, and I had to wait a while to find a space. I found the service at dinner less than satisfactory. It seemed like the staff were understaffed, and my order was not taken promptly. The restaurant was busy, and the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation. I was not offered the Brasserie menu initially, which I later learned I should have received.
