subpar food quality limited options
the location was acceptable, close to major attractions.
the breakfast BUFFET was a disaster. the food quality was subpar, and the limited options were disappointing. also, the room looked smaller compared to the pictures online. I expected more space when I got there.

adequate accommodation

friendly staff clean room comfortable bed outdated hotel cramped washroom limited breakfast
the staff was friendly. the room was clean. the beds were comfortable offering a good night's rest. i also appreciated the onsite johnny rockets.
the hotel felt somewhat outdated. the washrooms were cramped offering little space to move. the breakfast was limited to basic options like bread jam and eggs. i found the extra charge for juice quite frustrating.
