an okay stay, some issues noted
nearby bus stopssewage odorbreakfast policy
the location was acceptable with bus stops nearby.
The room i was given had a distinct sewage odor in the bathroom. Stickers were placed, instructing guests not to step on sewage caps. the breakfast service had a confusing policy about coffee. i had to go to another building to get a towel for the pool after i had changed already.
