Lots of potential
Pros:

Brand new rooms very clean. Big beds and nice mattresses

Cons:

Had some challenges during my stay with smoke smelled rooms, no power and when I was moved to a third room it had not been cleaned correctly. The bed was made but someone had definitely slept in there. The cleaner had done half a job. I think sort these things out and you have a nice place to stay .
