Mixed Feelings About My Recent Stay

loose shower low volume
The room was clean but a bit worn. The shower controls were loose, and the television volume was too low, I could not adjust it. Breakfast felt too much like a canteen. It lacked personal service. Staff seemed overwhelmed. They did not check on us for coffee refills. The location is great. I expected better for the price.
