Adequate Stay

convenient locationspacious roomstraightforward processstained carpetstaff absenceshallow basin
The location was convenient for my needs. The room was spacious, a definite plus. The check-in process was straightforward, which I appreciated.
The room needed some attention (I noticed the carpet needed a stain treatment). There was no staff present, which might be an issue for some. The shower basin was quite shallow, and it overflowed easily.
