Expected Better for the Price
Pros:

The location was good for what we wanted
The staff where friendly

Cons:

The room was tired, there were holes in the net curtain, cigarette ends on the window sill outside. Dust on lamps and lampshades. Film of dust over the mirrors, cracked tiles in the bathroom. Didn't bother having breakfast. Expected better for the price.
