The hotel room was clean and the staff were very nice. The free Wifi is pretty quick as qell. However, there is a door that connects to the next room that can not be locked. I've never felt so unsafe. The hotel also has a restaurant that you can not eat at you can only get eoom service or T/A. There is also a fee if you want to eat.

Some of the renovations in the bathroom were a bit shoddy. Example, holes around pipes which would allow insects to move freely between rooms. Our entrance door was not a good fit. It closed OK, but it just didn't align with the frame properly.
