the location was fine for what i needed.
the room was pretty disappointing. the furniture seemed old and damaged, needing a complete refit. there wasn't even a reading light on each side of the twin beds, just one lamp or overhead lights.

the room was acceptably spacious.
I found the breakfast options quite repetitive. Each day offered the same selection, which became tiresome rather quickly. A bit more variety would really improve the experience, i think.
