Walls in the bathroom needed to be patched and painted. There were holes in the side of the plasterboard that should’ve been filled.

Great stay… sub-par breakfast.
Everything was great… except the breakfast. Staff was friendly, check in was quick and easy, rooms clean, and beds comfy… but the breakfast was sub par considering other breakfast I have had at Holiday Inns… edible but not satisfying. I would definitely stay again though. There’s plenty of local grub in the area.
