Even though the hotel was not full, we were given a weirdly proportioned room in a dark corner up 2 flights of steep stairs (we had 2 large bags). Room 14 was the worst in the complex, it faced the loud busy road, it was above a loud restaurant, power point didn’t work, bath shower didn’t work, and the price we paid was $30 more than I later found advertised for other rooms. If we had any of the other rooms, I think it may have been ok.

Great friendly customer service. Okay for an overnight stay, spacious and clean enough. However, since it was a little dated and dark decor it made the room feel like it was unclean. Bed manchester had some stains on the cover.

For what we paid, the propertys condirion is very tired and old. The price was probably due to a third party booking service, was unable to find a direct phone number to book.
