mixed experience, some issues observed.

convenient locationclogged shower drainslow toilet refill
the location is convenient for accessing the town center. free parking is available directly in front of the building.
the shower drain was heavily clogged with hair and other debris. i attempted to clean it, but the drain remained very slow. the toilet tank refill was also unusually slow. i was concerned about potential flooding.

parking on the drive worked for me.
the room they gave me was tired. the curtains had a weird smell, probably because they never clean them. the bedding had long hairs, and i'm bald. i didn't even bother with breakfast cause i doubted the cleanliness after that.

Mixed Feelings About the Stay

uncomfortable bedgrimy remote control
The bed was really not comfortable. I could feel the springs. The remote control for the TV looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages, it was actually quite grimy. I didn't feel comfortable using it. I think the room needs a serious deep clean.
