slow servicedim lighting
i didnt care for how long i had to wait for breakfast. the room was fairly empty. forty-five minutes is excessive for eggs and toast. i also thought the bathroom lighting was far too dim to apply makeup properly. i nearly left with blush only on one cheek. that would have been a disaster!

mixed feelings about my stay

acceptable breakfastchanged atmosphere
the breakfast was acceptable.
This was a notable change from previous experiences. i had held my dad's wake there some years ago, and we have eaten here fairly regularly, however, during my most recent visit, the atmosphere had changed. it may be a while before i return.

the parking space was satisfactory and allowed easy access to the premises.
The television in the room did not function. I expected all amenities to be operational. furthermore, the hot water was intermittent. this made showering difficult at times.
