the location was convenient for nearby attractions. the staff were polite. they provided information about local amenities and directions when i asked. also, the room was tidy and the bedding was clean.
The hotel appears dated with signs of wear. the corridors had a slight musty smell. i found some areas needed better ventilation and maintenance! also, the breakfast selection was limited. There was not a wide variety of options.
