free parkingmodern roompeeling paintdisgusting sink
The location was amazing!!! free parking was a bonus. the room was large and very modern. It had lots of tea, coffee, and bottled water, a nice touch.
The superior room i booked was not superior at all. it was a large room, yes, but it looked tired with peeling paint and dust. the bathroom was not good. The sink was disgusting and there was mold around the shower area since the shower tray was not deep enough, water overflowed onto the bathroom floor. i noticed water was coming from both ends of the shower head, soaking the walls.
