Basic stay with some letdowns

wide varietyoutdated roomstained carpet
The breakfast was acceptable with a wide variety of options available.
The room felt quite outdated. The carpets and paintwork looked stained, and the lamps was slightly off-color. The shower requires you to stand in an old bathtub with a shower curtain and I had to bend down to get wet. I found this disappointing considering the price.
