The room itself was clean and fine but it is a rather dated facility. One of our cooking pots and a salad bowl had not been cleaned and something was very burnt on to it. The WiFi was also rather weak. Free parking and an extra hour on checkout was appreciated. The hotel is very walkable to everything as well.
