great variety helpful staff easy access
Breakfast had great variety. Staff showed helpfulness, and they were friendly too. The location allows easy access to town amenities.
The privacy in the bathroom was a little questionable.

underwhelming stay
fraying carpets cracked tiles
The decor felt very tired. i noticed fraying carpets and wallpaper throughout the building. my room was clean enough, but the shower tiles were old and cracked. i also struggled to sleep because of noise from the street and other guests. They were quite loud in the hallway late into the night.
