adequate stay with some drawbacks
smoking area dated decor
the main entrance doubled as the smoking area. i had to walk through a crowd of smokers to reach reception, which wasn't staffed. the room felt small, and the high windows offered no view. the carpet had stains , made me uncomfortable, and the decor was dated.
