Pleasant
The location was great,breakfast was ok but an odd set up,the usual self service unless you pre-paid then you ordered hot food at the table.
The room was at the back where there was a noisy bar which could still be heard with the window shut and the room was very warm and no air conditioning only a small fan.

Good
Location
Sink is way too low. Getting out of the slippery tub is a hazard. No ramp at entry to roll luggage to check-in….location is on the side of the hotel…not obvious. Employees do not hold doors so they slam shut…doors are too loud when they close. Employees talk and laugh loudly at all hours…easily heard outside the door. One employee kept whistling to others. They need to keep quiet! Caters to large tour groups that take up breakfast area early am.
