mixed feelings about this stay
instant coffee limited breakfast
the location was fine , providing off-street parking , which was acceptable.
i was disappointed that the breakfast felt lacking. the only coffee available was instant , and there was not a wide selection of food. i would have liked more variety to start my day.
