helpful staffcentral locationtakeaway beerdirty shower
the staff were very helpful. i liked the central location of the hotel. they brewed beer on site, and it was available to take away. i think it was a good value.
the shower was a little dirty, and there was some mold on the tiles. i also thought the toiletries for two people were a bit minimal.
