the location provided easy access, and i appreciated the ample parking available. the staff proved pleasant, and i found my room clean upon arrival. the provision of a fan, upon request, compensated for the absence of advertised air conditioning.

the lighting in the room proved insufficient, particularly as some lights were not functional.

the parking was adequate and the location allowed easy access to town.

the bathroom was a letdown, i spotted mold growing in the grout. the chipboard around the toilet also looked damaged by water and seemed poorly maintained. i really wish they pay more attention to these maintenance details.
