Satisfactory Visit

friendly staff breakfast options good location faulty light minor details noise level
I found the staff very friendly. They were helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast was quite good with plenty of options. I liked the location near a small wooded area.
The bathroom light was not working properly. I also noticed a few small details needing improvement. My window faced the front, and I heard some noise from people chatting outside. I could not fully shut the window.
