brown stains noisy lift
The room felt quite dated and could use a refresh. i found brown stains on the towels, which wasn't very appealing. also, the lift made concerning noises. It sounded like it was on its last legs. these issues affected my overall impression of the place.

the staff was always great and helpful, so friendly they are. the hotel it offers good value, and i think thats a really good thing. it not a super fancy hotel, but it great for the budget. the free parking was a real bonus too.
the heat in the room was a lot, it felt really overwhelming. i think the room had floor heating on, even in june. there were only one wall power socket in the room, and it was far away from the bed. i wish there was more power sockets near the bed. the pillows were hard, that not the best.
