It was ok as in good value for the money. If you just need a place to sleep overnight, it is the economical choice. No coffeemaker in the room, The bedding seemed nice and clean, but the mattress was not overly comfortable. Again, an economical place to lie your head, no more.

The listed amenities are present and functional although there is usually only 1 outlet section available in the room and the outlets in the washroom. The room and washroom were clean although they did not look well maintained (the walls had scratches on them and the tub was stained). The beds were comfortable enough although I suggest bringing your own blanket with you because the sheets and duvet cover are very thin. The TV has cable and it works and depending on the room you can connect your Google Cast device to it too.
