helpful staff large room pleasant location tired decor rickety chair rotten wood

The staff were friendly and helpful. My room was large it had both a bath and a shower. The location was pleasant near a park with a 20-minute walk to the town center.

The decor and furniture seemed old. The chair in my room was unsteady. The window in my room had rotten wood at the bottom so I could not close it properly.
