For the money paid, it was essentially a tiny box room with a window onto a very busy road. Lack of total blackout blinds/curtains caused sleep issues too.

There isn't a ramp to enter this hotel, so it was extremely difficult to lift a stroller up all the stairs. In addition, the standard room was incredibly tiny.

I have to say the bed was the most uncomfortable we’ve slept in during 30 years of traveling. The mattress sloped so much - anyway. And we never complain but this was up there. Great location and really nice staff.
