The room looked worn out. Сhipped furniture, dark interior. The staff would clean the breakfast room as we were having breakfast, which I find very annoying. Limited breakfast choices.

This is our 2nd time staying at this location. The breakfast was the same daily just changing potatoes for one egg dish one day. The pancake machine was broken all week. Ice machines were broken. Third floor where we stayed was tore up, under construction but no one worked on it all week while we were there. Two years ago this was a great place to stay snd now it is not. Sad
