I appreciated the room size, it was spacious. breakfast had good options. I found the quality acceptable. the staff were helpful and polite, they answered all my questions.
The street where the hotel sits is not the prettiest. It is not visually appealing. the extra bed wasn't that comfy. I didn't sleep well on it. the bathroom made it hard to shower. The floor got wet easily.
