Seedy and sketchy. Riffraff all over the place all hours of the night outside sitting on benches, puffing butts left and right I can’t walk out of the room without getting whacked with secondhand smoke and they sit right against your window and the top it all off they charge me $10 for allegedly not returning a key which I always leave in the room. I don’t know. I would never stay there again. I’m not a fan of random $10 charges from hotel showing up on my card without an explanation of phone call and email nothing

The property was all right but the price was quite high for the property. A bit dated and staff were not overly friendly. Breakfast was fine. At the time we were there, there was roadwork and quite noisy.

The room was spotless, and while showing some wear, so were the facilities. Better yet, there was signs everywhere of updating! My only disappointment was that I had indicated that I needed disabled access when I booked the room. The manager expressed their dismay, but since they were fully booked, there was nothing that they could do. Is there anything you can do with your site to pass such information along?
