adequate stay, but some issues noted
dated room unpleasant odor
the staff was friendly and the provided parking was spacious.
My room was in an outbuilding, and it felt quite dated. the linoleum floor in the bathroom had a strong, unpleasant odor (presumably due to the material). the carpeting in the main room featured large stains. I found a sizable stain on the armchair as well.
