A Convenient Stay

clean roomfriendly staffdelicious breakfastbathroom fanbad smellhotel wifi
The breakfast included plenty of options I found delicious. The hotel sits near the river and marina. It's a good place to take a walk or grab a bite. The staff acted warmly. The room was clean and warm also.
There was no bathroom fan I noticed. The bathroom had a bad smell upon my arrival. I did not find a toilet brush in the bathroom. This was unusual. The hotel's WiFi did not work one entire evening of my two-night stay.
