mixed feelings About this stay

cobweb ceiling peeling wallpaper
The location suited my needs for this trip.
My room was not well kept. I saw cobwebs on the ceiling and the wallpaper needed replacing, it was peeling in places. The bathroom also needed redecorating, disappointing.

Solid stay

I found free parking at the back of the hotel. Erin, the receptionist, was very helpful and friendly. I liked the microwave in my room, very practical for heating up snacks (i like late night snacks).
The decor seemed a little dated.
