Mixed Feelings About the Stay

full parkingcheap sauce
The parking situation was not ideal. The lot was full upon arrival. I had to park on a side street, a minor inconvenience. The room locking mechanism proved unexpectedly difficult. the brown sauce served at breakfast tasted very cheap. The price point does not align with the quality.

i found the staff super friendly. they chatted about my stay and offered recommendations for my trip. the decorations in the house are amazing. i really liked having a downstairs room to relax in the evening with a kitchen area available to make hot drinks (there's another lounge area next door).
parking was full upon arrival, so i had to park on a side street. locking the room initially seemed like an intelligence test. i found it a bit tricky at first. it would be great to have clearer instructions or an easier locking mechanism.
