A Decent Stay

friendly staffdecent parkingawful viewsmall bathroom
The staff was friendly. They offered a warm welcome upon arrival. The room was clean. There was decent parking available too.
The view from the room was not great. It overlooked a roof. The bathroom felt small, it was almost claustrophobic. I also had to wait a long time for warm water in the shower.
