Decent Stay with a Few Hiccups
excellent locationhelpful staffavailable parkingthin wallbad breakfastsmelly corridor
I really liked the location. It was excellent! Parking was also available when I needed it. The staff really helped with directions in town.
The walls felt paper thin. I was woken by people showering, using the toilet. The breakfast wasn't good at all. It was a terrible breakfast. The corridors smelled really bad.
