average stay. issues with the bed.

friendly staffhard mattresssore neck
the staff were really friendly and helpful.
the comfort of the bed and pillows were really not good. the mattress itself was very hard and seemed like i was sleeping on a wooden floor. when i woke up i had an aching back. the pillows felt very flat, like they had no filling inside, giving me a sore neck. overall it was hard to get comfortable in bed to get to sleep
