Beds were clean and room was ok. Price too high for for quality and cleanliness. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Dining room was not cleaned every day and breakfast was borderline. Tables were not wiped/cleaned completely and floors were not swept or cleaned. We were there 5 days and I only saw the floors cleaned once. Coffee machine in room but staff said we couldn’t use it because they were getting rid of them. Who removes in room coffee option! Front desk refused to give me a receipt. Said I paid through booking.com. I paid at the hotel so booking.com couldn’t give me one. Still fighting for that.
