The check-in and check-out times felt quite restricted. the shower water was excessively hot. My attempts to adjust the temperature proved unsuccessful. the inconsistency in check-out times and the scalding shower were not ideal.

Fantastic stay, a real gem!

good size roomcomfy bedmany breakfast optionsnice staff
I was thrilled with my stay! The room was a good size and the bed felt really comfy. Breakfast was included and had plenty of choices on the menu! The staff were so nice. They said yes without hesitation when I asked for something special since I'm vegan.
The soundproofing wasn't the best since the hotel is right next to the highway, though I barely noticed it with how cozy the room was.
