The shower pressure was quite weak. i struggled to get properly clean. also, the free car park was often full. I had to find street parking a couple of times. this was a bit inconvenient since i specifically chose a hotel with parking.

the staff were friendly enough, so that was something.

the shower, wow, it barely trickled water. i mean, i get that it's an older building, but the water pressure was a joke. and the room was pretty pricey, even compared to other places nearby.
