Mixed feelings about this stay

great locationrough roominadequate communication

The location was great. It was easy to get around from there.

The room I initially received felt a bit rough around the edges. It certainly did not seem like the photos online. the breakfast setup was confusing. They seemed unprepared for the number of guests presentwith a bit of chaos. Communication from the staff felt inadequate.
