The property was clean and new. Everyone was friendly. The morning breakfast people were amazing, my only thing would be housekeeping didn't come to straighten up the room but I guess maybe they were busy. It was very easy to get extra towels and coffee. Very nice place

The rooms are very noisy with the fan that goes in all the bathrooms all the time. The TV didn't work, the phone didn't work. The morning Breakfast was terrible, the staff was late, the coffee was like water and of course the kitchen oven was broken both days. The staff moved at a snails pace. I would recommend looking elsewhere. Would not go back. There are some other newer hotels and would suggest those. This one was a mistake.
