good size room spacious bathroom helpful staff curtain issue stained carpet parking cost
the room was a good size and the bathroom was too. breakfast was good, nothing missing. the staff were lovely and helpful.
One of the curtains had come off the hooks at the end. I had to fix it to block out the light. the room carpet had quite a few stains in places. i didn't like paying an additional cost to park my car overnight.
