Satisfactory stay NEAR the town
convenient location multiple options spacious room inadequate parking credit card warning unnecessary instructions
The location was GOOD. It was a short walk to the town center. Breakfast offered many options. The room was spacious AND clean.
Parking WAS inadequate. I got a parking fine despite checking with the owner. There were warnings about credit card deductions for stolen items. I found this unpleasant. Instructions on how to secure a door by closing it felt unnecessary.
