Not bad if you wantca view and nothing else.
Great view! Only 2 towels and one roll of toilet paper. No breakfast to speak of. Road was really close so the noise was there. The room was okay. Bed wasn't horrible but kinda hard. There's no a/c, and shower is making a screaming noise, and the vent in the bathroom was broken.
