Adequate Stay with Some Issues

tasty breakfast warm welcome poor parking bathroom pipes
The staff offered a warm welcome. The breakfast was tasty and it kept me going until supper time (especially the sausages).
Parking was not good near the hotel. My room was like it needed some TLC. The bathroom had pipes being held together by fragile tape.
