The room was clean, but it felt dated and had a condensation smell. Beds were clean and comfy. Had enough outlets which was nice. Noisy outside on a main road and can hear other guests.

Clean with difficulties

Unfortunately, the WIFI was terrible. We had a student with us taking on line classes. Internet kept dropping. Also the water pressure was awful. It was difficult to take a decent shower. However, due to the cleanliness and comfort we would stay again.
