While only a meager bar at the hotel, due to the very limited number of bars open on a Saturday night after 11:00, it was disappointing that the hotel bar closed at 11p

Only reason we booked this hotel is bc it says on booking that they have EV chargers. Also for parking the gate is broken and no one has to pay to get in. Someone tried to break into our car at 5am. Area is not good.
