uneven experience at the hotel

acceptable locationdated decorlukewarm water
the location was acceptable.
The room decor seemed quite dated. It needs updating. the bathroom felt far from the best, i think a walk-in shower is better than the dated bath. also, the water for tea and coffee at breakfast was LUkE warm.
