It was okay for a one night stay.
Pros:

Breakfast is okay need to add breakfast meat to the menu.

Cons:

The room suite was not with a view as requested. My window view was looking at the utilities air conditioning unit and area where garbage is disposed.
Breakfast didn't contain no breakfast meat.
