the room was small. access to the room was difficult with narrow hallways, it was hard to manage luggage. the dog-friendly room smelled strongly of detergent, an artificial fragrance made it hard for me to sleep properly, even with the window open.

Breakfast offered a great variety.
The room lacked air conditioning and this caused significant discomfort. The provided fan proved inadequate to combat the stuffiness. Limited hotel parking added to the inconvenience, because street parking was scarce.
