the free parking was acceptable, as it allowed me to keep my rental car nearby.
the room was quite small. the wardrobe door did not open fully due to a hinge issue. this made storing my belongings challenging.

nice bathroomlack of storagesubpar cleaning
the bathroom was quite nice.
the lack of storage space really bothered me. i was staying several nights and barely had room for my luggage. plus, the cleaning service was subpar, mostly involving just changing towels and negligibly tidying the bed. nobody bothered to answer when i tried contacting customer services about noises at night.

Perfect Base for Exploration

attached bakeryperfect bedhandy parking
The bakery attached was wonderful. The bed was so perfect. I found parking outside handy. I did not have to worry about finding a spot. The suite kitchen was another great feature.
The room was rather small, I thought.

The location proved to be a great base for all my travels around the area. I found its proximity to both the city center and the ease of driving out quite convenient. Parking was also readily available outside the premises.

Acceptable but Underwhelming

small roomflooded bathroom
The room felt cramped. It did not resemble the photos I saw online. We stayed on the ground floor. Our window faced the pavement, so we needed to keep the curtains closed. This. the shower lacked a proper seal so the bathroom flooded each time I used it.
