Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

run down bar overcooked bacon

The bar looked rather tired and could use an update. I also found cobwebs in the room which wasn't great. The breakfast wasn't good. The bacon was fatty and overcooked, and the scrambled eggs looked dry and old. The staff said they couldn't.
