Room was clean enough but shower needed some exit mould. Light flickering. Fixed on request by friendly guy. Dirty dishes from someone’s room service left outside room for 36 hours. Entrance flooded during a storm. Person on front desk average, not overly friendly. Overall, adequate but will try to find something better next time.
