No hot water

It was just a cheap over-night stay, I wasn't expecting much. The exterior could use a fresh coat of paint. The biggest issue I had was that there was no hot water for a morning show. The hotel claims that there is hot water but for my stay, the shower never heated up and the faucet only produced a trickle of cold water from the hot.

The service was really bad. No house keeping unless you asked, hardy no towels and wash cloths. Advertised a breakfast, there was none. Won't stay at that one again.

Stains on the bed, moved to a new room, bugs in the shower, Jass is a very rude manager and needs to work on owning up to her mistakes. I did not appreciate getting blamed for the uncleanliness :( Service from employees was very good though. Overall I did not enjoy my experience here :,)

Petit déjeuner à revoir.

Point s positifs : la gentillesse de la dame à l'accueil, le calme et le matelas. Points négatifs : chambre très petite, le déjeuner que l'on doit prendre sur une table dehors dans le froid et qui consiste en café soluble, pomme, barre de céréales et cacahouètes salées !!!!!!
