Liked: Cleanliness
The staff were friendly and courteous, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom, unfortunately, is showing signs of age with a number of patch repairs to the wall and messy silicon application to gaps in the shower. This didn't affect our stay, but did detract from the overall presentation of the room.
