friendly staff breakfast option easy location yellow stains unclean shower hot room
the staff were friendly. the breakfast option was nice to have and it was the perfect amount. location was easy to find too.
the bathroom required some attention. there were yellow stains everywhere. the shower was unclean though the plug hole blocked, we had to remove someone else's hair from the plug hole. the room was very hot, and a mirror is needed nearer to the window for natural light.

Acceptable, but not flawless

unclear signage constant traffic
I found myself dealing with some issues. The parking situation was unclear. Signage was minimal, and instructions were vague. the noise from the nearby road was constant. Sleep was difficult thanks to the traffic. I guess it is what it is.
