The room looked worn out. Сhipped furniture, dark interior. The staff would clean the breakfast room as we were having breakfast, which I find very annoying. Limited breakfast choices.

Didn’t spend a lot of time in room. It was fine. Just not as tidy as I would prefer. A little mold near the bathroom vent. Didn’t smell great. But served its purpose. Otherwise quiet, friendly staff, and convenient location
