Everything about the stay was very good except the housekeeping staff. We had problems twice getting our room cleaned or just getting clean towels. The hot breakfast was totally fine, with a good assortment of items. I would definately stay there again.

The hotel is fairly run down. The room was not that clean. The carpet was kind of damp and there was some kind of mold in the second sink (the one that is outside of the bathroom). The staff wasn’t super friendly except for the ones that were running the breakfast area in the morning. They were very nice and helpful. The breakfast itself was decent too, there’s a good selection.
