adequate stay

friendly staffbasic roomamazing managershabby decornoisy atmospherebanging door
the staff seemed fantastic. i can recommend the staff as they went the extra mile. the rooms are basic, but they did the job for what i needed . the manager was amazing too.
the decor was generally shabby. i was not expecting much different from an old-style hotel, but some may have an issue. it was also noisy, and i did not sleep well, with doors banging throughout the night and early hours.
