underwhelming stay

friendly staffoutdated roomquestionable stains

the staff were generally friendly, acceptable.

The room was quite outdated, definitely not reflecting what the photos online displayed. i also noticed some rather suspect stains on the bedding and felt uncomfortable when i requested it be changed. It shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. i think they need to focus more on cleanliness before anything else.
