Acceptable lodging, yet certain aspects warrant upgrades

lack parking opaque payment
I noticed deficiencies that impacted my satisfaction. The lodging lacked dedicated parking, I had to use a public lot. The payment terms were not transparent upon arrival. The requirement to pay cash or execute a bank transfer was odd. Ordinary cups rather than china would improve my experience.

advantageous location amazing view cleanliness priority unclear payment included parking normal cup
The location proved advantageous for visiting local attractions. The room offered a amazing view. Cleanliness was clearly a priority and the room was super clean.
I was told that parking was included, but this occurred after paying for two days already. Payment policies were not clear. China cups were in the room. I would have liked a normal cup or mug.
