friendly staffsmooth check-inthin wallsurine smell
The staff were pretty good! One staff member even came to get me when I got lost. The check-in process was smooth, and the team offered coffee. Dinner was great because I didn't want to venture out. Special thanks to Romes and Jez for their help!
The room smelled of urine. The walls are thin, and I could hear snoring next door. There is no place to walk dogs, even though the place is pet friendly. There's no pedestrian access to services nearby.

The staff was helpful and friendly. That was acceptable.
The room needed an upgrade badly. After a couple of hours, I noticed I was getting bitten. The room was full of fleas, so I didn't sleep at all. Management responded that it is a budget hotel, but that is a disgusting excuse for the situation.
