Decent stay at the hotel

big bedschrome castcarpet stainstree nuts
The room size was great. I also liked the two big soft beds. Chrome cast abilities were available, so we could watch our TV.
Staff weren't rude though also not overly friendly. Stains was on the carpet in the hallway. Tree nuts existed on steps. This made it tricky to walk up when it was raining and I wanted to get inside quickly.
