Great stay for one night coming in from the USA. Only downside was that the Keurig wasn’t working in the lobby when I grabbed breakfast. Could improve on that but otherwise average. Would come back again for future stays.

The continental breakfast was the same everyday for the 5 days we were there and not the best. The cleaners never cleaned our room, they only put clean towels and made the bed 4 of the five days. It’s not a bad place but definitely needs a really good cleaning.

The room was pretty clean. I can't complain too much for the price I paid, but you can tell the building is old and there are no modern amenities, like phone charging ports and EV parking. The pool was excellent and very warm. Breakfast was ok...however, no tea except green tea, little variety of cereal and fruit (only bananas). And the coffee machine was out of hot chocolate and when we advised them, they didn't offer to fill it right away, so I had to go without. Although, they had gluten-free options for cereal.
