easy check-in spacious room comfortable bed old carpet full parking lot small window

The check-in process was easy. The room was spacious and clean. I found the bed comfortable. BREAKFAST had a good variety of options.

The carpets in the corridor smelled old! The parking lot was full when I arrived. I had to drive around to find parking. My room only had a small window.

constant noise lack of air conditioning

the pool seemed fine. it was there, anyway.

Honestly, the noise was something else, every slammed door echoed, and i'm pretty sure i heard the couple next door arguing about what kind of cheese to buy. the room wasn't exactly what i'd call updated. It looked like it hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint since the early 90s! and the lack of air conditioning? in this day and age. it was like stepping into a sauna every time i walked in.

generally adequate stay

awesome service comfortable room dated decor limited sockets

the reception ladies provided awesome service. one lady took a good photo of me with a panoramic view, and she made me tea in the evening. the room was really comfortable.

The room decor felt very dated throughout. there were few sockets in the room. I unplugged the telly and fridge to use them. there were no sockets next to the bed.
