A decent stay overall

friendly staff good beer dirty bathroom shower upgrade
The location is good, lots of things were within walking distance. The beer was really good! The staff was accommodating and friendly, so it was easy to ask for help.
My room was not properly cleaned, some hairs were on the floor in the bathroom on arrival. The shower also needs an upgrade. The condition was not ideal.

Acceptable, but improvements needed

dirty bathroom small sheet
The location offered easy parking just outside.
The room I was assigned needed more thorough cleaning. There were hairs in the bathroom upon my arrival. The shower clearly required an upgrade, and the carpet was not clean, an UNACCEPTABLE oversight. The provided sheet was also too small for the bed. initially, I was given the wrong room.
