A slightly outdated experience

friendly staff spacious room clean room poor decor broken doors ripped curtains

The staff were friendly. They assisted me with interconnecting rooms even though I had forgotten to ask. My room was spacious and clean, it really worked for me.

The rooms decor looked quite poor. There were also broken doors. I noticed ripped curtains, which detracted from the experience.
