adequate stay WITH SOME ISSUES
leaking toiletunenthusiastic staff
The SMALL room was a bit of a letdown, and the toilet, WELL, it leaked when flushed. clean water, sure, but still MESSY. i also found the staff's attitude somewhat lacking. They weren't EXACTLY rude, but a bit more enthusiasm wouldn't hurt. i won't mention the noise.
