Acceptable, but Some Issues Need Addressing

musty carpet worn-out carpets

The location was good, and free parking was available.

The room cleanliness was not great. The carpet felt thin and musty. Hallway carpets looked worn out as well. I think the rooms need a refresh.

Basic stay with service issues

poor customer service no alternative

The room had basic amenities, and reception staff efficiently handled the car park registration.

The customer service was poor. The till wasn't working, so I couldn't order food or drinks one night. No alternative was suggested, so I was dismissed. On the second night, the WiFi wasn't working, and I still could not order anything.
