Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
acceptable locationdamaged wallscreaky bed
The location was acceptable, near the main attractions.
Unfortunately, the room felt quite dated. The walls had visible damage and desperately needed fresh paint to cover up holes (it was a bit of an eyesore). the bed frame was creaky and loud. I woke up several times during the night because of it.

Acceptable Stay with a Couple of Issues
hard mattressdark room
The bed was not comfortable at all. The mattress was too hard and I could really feel the springs. I did ask for an extra duvet to use as padding, but it only helped a little. the room seemed a bit dark and probably needs new paint.
