"The room was excellent, except that I needed to use the phone light at night because the light switches were far from the bed. All the light switches were at the door. There was parking available, but the free parking limit was 12 hours. If I parked at 8 p.m., I would need to leave by 8 a.m. the next day, instead of 10 a.m. (check-out time limit). To get from the car park to my bedroom, I had to cross a crowded room full of people having fun and playing. It was not convenient. Despite that, the room was great, and the staff were very kind. I would consider staying there again."
