Hotel needs a refresh. Poor breakfast, insufficient lighting in the dining room, no elevator, difficult to find. My room had open wires from what looked like a telephone socket, one lamp didn't work, the window double glazing was fogged, toilet water fill was insufficient, and towels were at the end of their useful life. The frame on the suitcase folding rack was rusted. All small details but.....

The staff was very nice and friendly the only thing I did not like was the smoking outside as soon as you walk in I did not want to smell cigarettes on my arrival. Smoking section should be on the side or out back

My only complaint is a very very sticky carpet in our room. Only one area but it’s unavoidable and whatever the substance is it doesn’t come off shoes or feet. All else is good.

I wouldn't say I like this hotel. When we got there, they gave us the wrong room, and I walked into the room with a guy asleep nude in his bed. I didn't want to see that after a long day. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, and I woke up with a sore back. The bed needed to be cleaned properly, and the service required to be more amiable. If I could get a refund for this stay, I highly doubt that would help my sore back. You would expect better beds and appliances if you pay $100 for one night.
