Fine for one night

Our stay was a quick overnight before our flight the next day. Had it been a longer stay, I would have been disappointed by the parking (very limited, not adequate for all guests to park) and by the amenities provided in the kitchenette (one set of silverware and no cooking utensils). The bed was an older spring mattress and was too soft for my liking. But the memory foam pillow was great! The hotel is older and in serious need of renovation. The location is just far away from the centre of town to be quieter, but also just far away from the centre of town to be inconvenient if you don’t want to drive and give up your treasured parking spot!
