Central Spot With Great Service

great hospitalitytown centerpoor water pressure

The location was amazing. It was really close to the town center. The staff showed us great hospitality. They gave lots of tips.

Water pressure in the shower was poor. It made washing difficult. Only two teabags provided in our room was a bit short.
