satisfactory stay, but needs work

cute staff helpful staff fair food poor appearance tired interior serious money
the staff was very cute. they were helpful too. i found the food was fairly priced, a good thing. the town got much to offer with good walks nearby.
the overall appearance upon arriving was poor. i think the hotel need some serious money spent on its exterior. inside was also looking a little tired. it needs an injection of finance for sure.
