"Stayed in better; stayed in worse."
Overall score3.0/ 5
Staff was excellent, always pleasant and in a good mood. I had fresh towels every day. Breakfast had several options, plenty to get started for the day. The hotel itself was in rough shape the mattress was thin and well worn, there was a nail sticking up out of the floor ( that my bare foot found) and the bar holding the shower curtain was broken.
