Acceptable, but some issues
dusty room poor service
The room was a good size with a VERY large, comfortable bed.
The room was dusty. The carpets and curtains also looked not to have been washed. I think the staff should work on customer service. It seemed lacking.

convenient parking local produce sustainable practice
This was my second visit, and I noted some excellent features. The parking availability was convenient in the popular area. I found local produce in the kitchens, supporting environmental sustainability. Breakfast had no unnecessary packaging, showing environmental mindfulness.
The room faced a busy road, and despite the hotel's charm, noise affected sleep quality.
