The carpets did not look clean. the walls need fresh paint and the bathrooms need new showers. one room's door lock was barely attached because the wood around it was cracked. This should have been reported!!!

small television limited bar selection

The television in the room was quite small . The bar area was also a letdown . The selection was limited , and the drinks seemed overpriced for what they were. It seemed that not much effort was made to keep guests entertained after a certain hour. I had expected more given the overall presentation of the hotel. These issues put a damper on the stay.

average STAY , SOME issues

dirty bathroom lack of drawers

The location was fairly good , close to attractions.

I found SEVERAL problems. The bathroom cleanliness was not up to par, and there was a distinct lack of drawers for storing clothes. The provided hairdryer seemed like it belonged to the receptionist , it was old and not very effective. the room felt quite basic for the price paid.
