The service was exceptional. Very accommodating. Coin laundry onsite. It’s old style but clean. Bed was very “bouncy” and large, thick pillows.

Joseph the manager was welcoming and friendly. The room was very clean and tidy. The only negative would be the very very firm bed. The hotel attached was small and offered a reasonable range of dinner options. Staff was friendly.
