decent stay overall
spacious roomclean roomfriendly staffnice breakfastintermittent hot waterworn stairwellfluctuating pressure
the room was spacious and clean. i found the staff super friendly, a real joy to interact with. breakfast was nice and i appreciate the choice available.
the hot water in the shower was intermittent. it frequently switched from cold to scalding hot when the pressure changed, a very unpleasant experience. the stairwells could definitely use some tlc, they looked a bit worn.
