The check-in process was easy. The room was spacious and clean. I found the bed comfortable. BREAKFAST had a good variety of options.
The carpets in the corridor smelled old! The parking lot was full when I arrived. I had to drive around to find parking. My room only had a small window.

functional poolconstant noiselack of air conditioning
the pool seemed fine. it was there, anyway.
Honestly, the noise was something else, every slammed door echoed, and i'm pretty sure i heard the couple next door arguing about what kind of cheese to buy. the room wasn't exactly what i'd call updated. It looked like it hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint since the early 90s! and the lack of air conditioning? in this day and age. it was like stepping into a sauna every time i walked in.

I enjoyed the helpful front desk staff. They ensured my balcony request was met starting on my second day. The rooms were very clean. Fresh towels arrived daily. The staff accommodated all our requests. They even held our luggage on check-out day.
