understaffed reception available parking
The room was very clean and nicely decorated.
Check-in was a problem. The reception seemed understaffed, and I waited a long time just to get my room key. the advertised parking was not available, I had to search for street parking and walked quite a distance with my bags.

processed sausage weak shower
The sausage at breakfast tasted overly processed and lacked flavor. It was quite disappointing, as I anticipated something more authentic. the bathroom had a strange musty smell, kind of off putting. The extractor fan didn't seem to help much. The shower pressure was also weak.
