Liked: Staff & service
The room was clean and all of the basic functions were working. There was no coffee maker or hot cups, though the shower got really hot so you could make due with that if you really needed hot water. It was also an extremely loud location. The inn itself doesnt have any sound-proofing so Being right next to major roads has its pros and cons. Heard excessive acceleration and Sirens all night, so we kept the tv on to help us sleep through the sudden volume changes from outside. Overall you get what you pay for
