The staff was super friendly and helpful. The coffee and the breakfast was very good. Unfortunately, there were problems with the room. There is no fan in the bathroom, half of the electrical outlets did not work or were loose, and one of the beds squeaked. The positives about the room was the cleanliness and the size.
