The beds were comfortable but the shower had very little pressure. The toilet got flogged just from toilet paper and when we asked for a plunger, the first one was worthless so I had to call down to see if the had a different one. Everything was clean and most of the staff was nice. There was one woman at the front desk who would stare us down and give us dirty looks each time we came by. When we asked for the manager she didn’t even want to give us contact information. We had to demand she at least give us an email. Aside from her, everyone else was super nice.

The room was smelly and not well maintained, definitely not upto its rating. The complementary breakfast was not up to the mark and always in short supply. Staff was also a bit rude and didn’t seem customer focused. Overall, experience was disappointing, it was the cheaper option but still not value the money.
