limited spacelow shower pressure
the room felt smaller than i hoped. it was advertised as a superior king room, but the space was quite limited. the bathroom felt particularly cramped, i struggled to move around comfortably. the shower pressure was also quite low, and it made it difficult to have a good wash.

i found the staff were really helpful. they went out of their way to help me throughout my stay (which was much appreciated). i also found the location to be convenient, not too far from local attractions. i was also able to park easily on the premises.
the bedroom was small. it was not what i expected, considering i booked an executive room.
