When I arrived at the hotel, I found the room freezing, but it had everything we needed, including good TV channels, a fridge, and coffee facilities. However, the room needs urgent renovation and repair, and I was surprised to find condoms behind the coffee maker.

The room was freezing when we got in, but it had everything we needed, including good TV channels, a fridge, and coffee facilities. It needs urgent renovation and repair. Interestingly, I found condoms behind the coffee maker.

Service

6.0

The service was a bit underwhelming as they seemed more interested in getting information on the type of bug for the exterminator than addressing the inconvenience of spending a night in a room with bugs. However, the front desk host was excellent.

The location was also underwhelming and not heated, lacked cleanliness, but it was right off the highway, which made it easy to get to. I found an in-house error in the windows and window frames.

The dining experience was great for the price, but there weren't enough chairs, and the breakfast was miserable and underwhelming.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were on the small side and in need of an update, but the location was very convenient being right off highway 95. The service had its ups and downs, with some issues like the room door not closing properly but attentive care in other areas like refilling empty items. The dining experience left something to be desired, especially with the limited breakfast options, but the location was great for my trip going south.
