Acceptable stay

clean room private parking peeling paint dining area

The room was very clean. The bathroom was also newly decorated. The breakfast was excellent, with friendly staff attending to our needs. Private parking was available on the premises.

The hotel needs considerable TLC. The dining area was not well-kept, with chairs and tables stacked in a corner. The ceiling also required attention.
