The breakfast was very good. It was great the staff let me leave my bags early. My room was quiet even though the bar had a big game showing.
The WiFi signal was a little WEAK.

The staff were friendly and polite when I arrived at the hotel.
The room's condition was disappointing. I observed cracked and peeling paint throughout the room. Several lights did not work, suggesting a lack of maintenance.
