The hotel was clean and good for one night. They are in the middle of renovation so it was a little lacking. Once the renovation is completed I am sure the hotel will be even better

The website indicated this facility served breakfast - it did not. The facility was pictured as bright and attractive. It was dingy, terribly run down and dirty. There were some attempts at refurbishment, but the pace must be glacial as a newer appearing shower already had a large crack in one wall. The bright spot was that the staff I encountered were pleasant and helpful. The air conditioner/heater performed well. I cannot recommend this location.
