It’s a nice hotel for the price.
Pros:

Room was clean. Front desk was helpful. Nicely furnished.

Cons:

Pillows were flat. 2 pillows each folded in half stacked on top of each other wasn’t as thick as a normal pillow. It was hard on the neck. 1st room was not good - toilet didn’t flush and ac hardly worked and there was a strong smell of a chemical cleaner. We were given a 2nd room which was much nicer and smelled much better. Breakfast was lacking.
