easy access underground parking outdoor patio uncomfortable pillows worn carpet outdated curtains
The location was superb, providing easy access to local attractions. I found underground parking very accessible and convenient. I enjoyed drinks on the outdoor patio. It was lovely (a perfect way to unwind!).
The pillows were not comfortable for sleeping. They seemed to be made of chip foam. I noticed the carpet needed updating, and so did the curtains. The hotel seemed old and somewhat run down.
