"Arrived a little late, around 21:00. Waited a good 5 minuted before anyone arrived to check me in. Hotel was a bit dated, i could see that they were understaffed. People in the bar waiting a while to be served, lots of dirty plates and glasses laying around. I spotted a glass on the side with some beer left when i came back from dinner. The same glass was still there in the morning when i checked out. Room was fine, clean and a good size."
