“The rooms are well-kept and represent excellent value, featuring reliably hot water; however, the hilltop location, while offering city views, presents access challenges, especially given potentially confusing directions. While I appreciate the available parking, improved guidance to navigate the final stretch would greatly enhance the arrival experience, especially considering that tea and coffee are available for a fee.”
