car parkingimpolite breakfast server

The car parking was a joke. i got there and there wasn't a space for my car, so i had to leave it in a loading bay. when i did pay for a space, the staff cars blocked me in. It wasted half an hour asking reception to get them to move. breakfast was okay, but the lady serving was not polite at all.

The staff was helpful . I was able to check in early, which I really appreciated. The checkout time at 12 PM also worked well for me.

I noticed grime on the stairs and suspicious stains on the walls. The glass panel on my floor was smashed and covered with tape.
