Staff courteous and room mostly clean. Bathroom needed an upgrade - bit of mould in the shower and old flooring tiles. Towels were rough with threads so quite old and worn. Big list of rules greated you in the toom instead of a warm welcome message.

It was a decent, clean, safe place to stay for one night. :) Staff allowed us a late check-out the morning of, which we really appreciated! Easy parking, good toiletries, simple but efficient kitchenette layout for coffee or tea with a fridge and sink. Nothing fancy, but comfy overall.
