A Nice Stay, Kindness and Comfort

excellent foodgreat kindnesspoor wi-fi
The food was excellent. The room was comfortable. The staff showed great kindness. I stayed unexpectedly because a relative was in hospital. The staff accommodated my needs. They even allowed me to stay past checkout while I waited for a call.
The Wi-Fi did not extend to my room, located outside the main building. This impacted my ability to work effectively . I hope they improve Wi-Fi coverage to reach all rooms.

stale smokespotty internet
I have visited this hotel several times, but this last visit left something to be desired. The room assigned to me had a strange smell, almost like stale smoke. The ventilation seemed inadequate, as the odor lingered even after I opened the windows. the promised high-speed internet was spotty at best. I struggled to maintain a stable connection throughout my stay. It really put a damper on my plans.
