The room included a kettle with coffee, a decent way to wake up. the checking in was easy and quick, a simple process. the staff helped me extend my check-out time. I appreciated that. the shower had hot water, and the water pressure was okay. I had a decent shower.
My room had a stained table, and i didn't like that. the chairs were stained too. It was noticeable. there was a small stain on the mattress cover and a hole in the bed sheet. The linens were not in good shape.
