Not pleasant
Pros:

Would not use the hotel again.

Cons:

No breakfast. Front desk manager woke me up at 7 am telling me to leave.
Paid on Booking .com previous night on my card. I arrived at 1 am and only slept 6 hours and got a very rude manager telling me she didn’t see my reservation. I showed her the confirmation from my phone. Her system was having issues with Booking .com even thought $250 was taken from my card.
