decent stay
friendly staff good breakfast perfect location large stain corroded fixture dead flies
The staff was very friendly. The breakfast offered good choices. The location was perfect, though the parking was expensive. The room included a king bed.
The room had a large stain on the ceiling. There were also a number of dead flies in the overhead light, it was gross. The taps and fixtures in the room were corroded. I thought it was overpriced.

acceptable, but some issues present
stale pastries circulating dust
the staff were adequate enough to address my basic inquiries.
The room i occupied exhibited considerable heat, even though external temperatures were low. a fan was provided. It merely circulated dust. the breakfast provisions were minimal, and the pastries tasted stale, as if they had been sitting out for days.
