An Okay Stay
convenient bus stop polite staff room size untidy gym worn entrance astroturf condition
The bus stop was just out front. This made sightseeing very easy. The room was a nice size. The check-in staff were polite and helpful.
The gym had a messy look. The hotel entrance looks worn. AstroTurf was stuck to many surfaces and its condition was poor.
