Just ok.

The hotel is understaffed. Stayed there 4 nights and had a hard time getting room service to clean our room one of the days. The floors are all tiled so that’s a positive. Had to keep the toilet lid closed because of an awful sewage smell.

A good hotel but needs improvement

The hotel overall is okay. I just wish that their check in would be faster. I waited for about 15minutes to get checked in. Also the shampoo was rancid. It did not make any foam. The hotel was clean and their breakfast was good.
