Comfortable Stay in a Quiet Area

warm staff beautiful street cleaning supplies

The staff was very warm and cute. I found the hotel to have a quiet and beautiful street. The bedroom and bathroom were clean. The hotel provided plenty of cleaning supplies. It was a nice experience.

The TV only received children's channels. I wished there were major channels available. The shower room lacked ventilation. Improvements are needed. The breakfast was also disappointing with limited options.

dated and disappointing..

rusty shower rail discoloured grouting

i found the hotel quite dated. the shower rail was completely rusty, and it was pretty gross. the grouting was also very discoloured. i think a bit of bleach would get it white again. the mismatched curtains and bedding didn't help. it seemed like everything needed a good overhaul.
