The breakfast offered a prime choice of options and delicious, fresh, warm dishes were available to order. My room was adequate and the bathroom and toilet were super clean. Staff provided attentive service, though it was a bit disjointed.
The rooms seemed outdated and the wallpaper was starting to peel in places.

The staff proved helpful.
My room looked quite outdated. Paper began to peel from the walls, and the shower did not cool. The location shows promise, but the hotel must invest in updates.
