Great amount of space for bigger families with everyone having a bed to themselves.
Pros:

Breakfast was decent.

Cons:

I understand this has nothing to do with the hotel, however crackheads screaming profusely outside our room evening - night made it hard to sleep and scary to go for a walk to check out the nearby restaurants.

The lift needs a update
