Unexpected Comfort on the Road
clean hotel simple breakfast careful handling
I found the hotel clean and well kept. The complimentary breakfast , though simple , gave a good start to my days of travel. The staff seemed very focused on safety, I noticed their careful handling of the ice machine in the lobby.
The decor felt a little dated , especially the bathroom fixtures. There were some minor signs of wear and tear , like a small crack in the sink. I think that an update would give the rooms a fresher feel.
Service
9/10
Staff addressed my inquiries quickly , and they were always available at the front desk. The check-in process was smooth , with no issues in obtaining my room keys. I was impressed with their efficiency.
Facilities
8/10
Free parking was available directly outside the building , and there was ample space. I saw a vending machine that offered a variety of snacks and drinks. The hotel also provided free Wi-Fi access.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast consisted of cereal , milk , sweet buns , and juice available in the reception area. I took the breakfast back to my room. Coffee was also available , and it was hot and fresh.
Rooms
9/10
The room featured two comfortable queen beds and an air conditioner that worked very well. I found extra towels available when I requested them from the front desk. The room size was adequate.
