Very dirty tables inside and out, broken outside chairs. At breakfast it took more than several attempts to find clean knife and forks, the chair that i nearly sat on at our breakfast table was filthy. Who i believe was the manager we spoke to during check in wasn't pleasant in the slightest. We do not recommend using the hotel at all.
