Acceptable stay

basic breakfast lovely receptionist hotel check-in obvious indication

The breakfast was GOOD. The receptionist was lovely and very polite. The breakfast service was attentive, and NOTHING was too much trouble.

The need to check in at the hotel next door was unexpected. There was no obvious sign initially indicating where to check in. A member of staff sitting outside DIRECTED me to the check-in desk next door.

mixed feelings about this stay

smoking cleaner cramped toilet

the breakfast was good, with a decent selection available.

The cleaner smoked right under my window each morning. I could smell it strongly in my room. the smell was disgusting when she was smoking by the front door upon my arrival. my room's toilet was also cramped and uncomfortable.
