good choice breakfast selection poor shower low quality shampoo
the breakfast selection offered a good choice and the staff were cute.
The shower pressure was quite poor. The water stream was weak and inconsistent, it made showering less than ideal. the shampoo provided was of low quality.

Satisfactory stay overall
friendly staff good meal quiet location poor pressure old sheets poor quality
The staff were friendly and helpful , I was grateful for their readiness to assist us upon arrival. The provided meal was good and reasonably priced. The location suited my needs and was actually quiet.
The shower pressure was quite poor , the water flow felt weak and inconsistent. The bed sheets felt old , they lacked the crispness I expected. I found the shower gel and shampoo to be of poor quality.
