decent stay BUT some issues

slow drain high fee
The room seemed smaller than expected, especially given the description. I found the shower drain was slow, water pooled during showers. the parking fee felt excessively high. Considering the tight parking spaces. this left me feeling a little frustrated, to be honest.
