The room was nice but the bed, for me personally, was too soft and noisy. The bathroom was nice but the door was so hard to open and close and the floor had some black lines. Overall i didn't have high hopes but the breakfast was also good and i left content

Young man who checked us in was very nice and friendly. It had been awhile since we stayed here and did notice that room had been updated. It's a shame that some people don't take care of things. New fridge was broken inside. Blackout curtain couldn't be raised. Overall the room looks better than before.
