was good except manager in restaurant - went for breakfast 0930 and closed and manager said were closed - nothing else no apology no suggestions just stern look like telling us to go - gave impression of being in business to just make money and no personality and that I guess would be my comment on property - no personality - bare essentials OK but thats it

This property was dirty- snot on the walls, dirty windows, the toilet roll holder was falling off the wall. There is no art work on the walls at all. The beds were very uncomfortable, very hard. The photos on line are not the unit you stay in.
