Overall enjoyed the stay, with reservations re the glass-walled bathroom.
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Clean rooms. Comfy beds and pillows. Well priced. Good blind for night, blocking daylight to allow good sleep-in. Free wifi.

Cons:

Bathroom has glass walls. When using the bathroom at night, light wakens the sleeping partner. A small, dim, night light, which could be switched off if not needed at/in bathroom would help. Alternatively, a blind on the glass wall facing the bed would reduce some of the light. The glass bathroom does pose a problem for a comfortable night's sleep for a couple who may use bathroom at night. Re parking-while convenient, cost is $20 per night. . Feel that guests should be provided with free parking at the hotel (most hotels provide free parking for guests), Outside users using the car park, should, of course be charged.
