Not too bad for a quiet one night stay
Pros:

Nice quiet location. The reception was welcoming and friendly, very quick and efficient! Comfortable bed if a little soft.

Cons:

Major Stains on the bedding carpets and curtains, walls very dirty and marked. Overall needs a little updating and deep cleaning but the general cleaning was well done.
