adequate stay with some concerns

convenient locationpoor cleaningsmall tv

the location suited my needs well enough.

The room cleaning was sub-par. I discovered hairs that clearly were not mine. upon reporting this issue to the manager, he deflected responsibility by stating it was outside his purview and suggested i speak directly with the cleaner. the tv in the room was also small.

the owner was friendly. he helped me a lot when he saw the stairs were a bit of a struggle for me. he put me in a different room than the one he originally allocated. i did not have to climb so many stairs.

the room was quite dated. the flat screen telly was the size of a postage stamp. the cleaning was not up to standard, i found hairs in the room that weren't mine. the manager told me it wasn't his department.
