Good

The pool and workout room were closed after being advertised as open. The hot breakfast was a cold breakfast with very few options. The staff wasn't very friendly except Will who we saw the last morning we were there.
Took too long to check in and we were the only ones at the desk. After 1/2 hour wait, finally went to room on first floor facing main road. Brutal with noise from traffic and construction and always had to keep curtains closed for privacy. In the morning for continental breakfast, we had an early day out and most bins were already empty.
Outstanding location . Had some interior construction ongoing that will be completed soon . Outstanding service and breakfasts. Will be staying there again .

The pool was under maintenance and they didn’t told us untill we got there which we were upset. Other than that the room was okay.
Floor cleaner smell was way too strong, staff was either friendly and busy so much she could not properly stock. The Continental breakfast or the other staff was disinterested and rude

No ice, no tv signals, no shelf i walk in shower to put soap etc
The hotel is under some kind of construction. When we arrived we were informed for that the elevator was broken, the ice machine was broken, we had no hot water in our shower, and the building was in poor condition. What we paid for this stay was robbery. The only reason this hotel kept
Our business is because there's nothing else near. Avoid this place if you can.
