lumpy carpet rude staff

The room felt smaller than expected (maybe i just have too much stuff). i also discovered something lumpy beneath the carpet. It gave the floor an uneven feel. the breakfast staff acted like i was bothering them when i asked for coffee. It was not a warm welcome at all (i reminded me of i was asking for the moon).

Decent Option Near the Airport

convenient location comfortable bed tasty food smoke smell dated furniture missing shower

The location IS convenient near the airport. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest. I found the food in the restaurant to be reasonably priced and tasty, a plus.

My room smelled of cold smoke. The furniture seemed a bit dated to me. I also noticed there wasn't a shower, just a bathtub, A slight disappointment.
