The room showed its age. The carpet seemed worn, and the paintwork was peeling off. Cleaning could have been better. I found hairs on the pillows.

uneven paththreadbare carpet
The hotel did have some positives, however there were a couple of things that bothered me. the lack of proper lighting in the rear parking area felt unsafe. It made navigating the uneven path quite treacherous. inside, the stair carpet was undeniably threadbare, a detail i found quite disappointing. these aspects definitely detracted from the overall experience..
