When I booked the accommodation , I was not aware that unless I was lucky enough to get to the street parking at around 5pm there was no free parking . I was with family until late one evening, paid for parking, then got trapped in the parking lot , it was about 10:30pm . I only got out as it happened that a car was exiting the car park and gate opened to let the car out. the driver kindly allowed me to walk ahead of them to let me out .

On my first evening, I noticed an issue with the toilet - it constantly made a dripping sound that was quite maddening when trying to sleep. I told the front desk, in hopes that they could send maintenance to fix it, but as it was the start of the weekend, I was told that might be a while, so instead they just offered me a new room. I was impressed by their commitment to do right by me — it would have been much easier for them to just call maintenance and leave it for Monday.
