The wifi was unreliable. It kept cutting out. i had a hard time streaming videos in the evenings. this made relaxing in the room difficult.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

poor breakfast low room quality
The food at dinner met my expectations. It was quite good.
The breakfast was not great (I expected more). The quality of the room also left much to be desired. I would not consider it a very restful stay.
