Great staff, clean room
Pros:

Staff was very friendly. I didn’t get the name of the man seating people at breakfast but he was wonderful and very very kind. Room was very spacious.

Cons:

Hotel is a bit dated but room was clean and decent.

The shower pressure was very poor, the bathtub filled up
While showering and I’m glad I ran the water before getting in because it was all yellow for a few minutes before running clear.
