surprisingly great stay near the airport

friendly staff informative staff large room
the staff member was really friendly and informative. she was very helpful with directions. the room was large and comfortable with the facilities i needed.. a kettle, a tv, and a fan. the bathroom was sizeable and clean. it included a good shower with soap and shower gel..
i had some trouble finding parking for about thirty minutes. the hotel is right in the center of town. it was quite frustrating, especially because of the rain..

uninviting entrance cigarette ends
The central location was acceptable.
The entrance looked uninviting. Cigarette ends littered the area outside. I found this quite off-putting, and it did not create a cute first impression.
