Not good
Pros:

Breakfast was good

Cons:

Breakfast starts at 7 am, should be 6 am
The bathroom door is to big, and blocks the Main room door, the tile in the bathroom gets slick as steam builds up, the main room door the lock sticks so it’s hard to get in and out of the room, the parking lot is way to small
