I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. The entire property is extremely rundown with poor or nonexistent maintenance. Everything in the room felt old, broken, or heavily used. The biggest disappointment was the food. The complimentary breakfast was truly awful—none of my four family members returned after the first day. The food was not fresh and looked like leftovers. Even the coffee was bad. You’re much better off finding breakfast outside the hotel; we found far better options nearby. I considered canceling our stay the moment I saw the room, but unfortunately, it was too late. This was a very disappointing experience overall, and I would not stay here again.
