a decent stay overall

fresh pastries ample parking small bed stressed receptionist
i found plenty of parking available. the breakfast offered fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, meats, cheeses.. especially the fresh pastries. when the pastries ran out, staff restocked them promptly. they came fresh from the oven!
The receptionist seemed stressed. the double bed was quite small. It didn't really feel like a true double. traffic in this area seemed pretty heavy..
