There were several issues during my stay that need addressing. Firstly, there was no available parking at night, which was a significant inconvenience. Additionally, the breakfast provided was far below expectations in both quality and variety. Moreover, the price listed on the website differed from what I was charged upon arrival, which was quite disappointing and felt misleading. I hope these issues can be resolved for future guests.

Great location for the CRT, some good food options, quiet, clean and nice staff. Be early for breakfast, they stop topping food up 45 minutes before closing so everything is out by 8:45.

There seems to not be enough parking, and not enough dining tables for the breakfast. It was very crowded and many people were standing waiting for others to finish eating or just eating while standing. This was stressful. The rest was great. The room was exactly what we needed for a quick sleep mid road trip.
