The location was convenient. I also found the staff to be quite friendly and helpful . The hotel offered a decent breakfast with a variety of options.

The room I was initially assigned had a noticeable odor. I also noticed that the bathroom fixtures looked somewhat dated. The internet connection in my room was unreliable at times.
