Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was courteous. Water pressure and temperature was not good in the shower. I informed the desk staff of it on our check out. The room was adjacent to an adjoining room and the noise was quite loud throughout the entire evening and into late night. The main room entry door did not do very well at insulating from noise in the hallway either.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location of our room wasn't ideal, we were on the ground floor right behind the lounge/buffet area and we could hear the music playing and people who were in the lounge at night which made sleeping difficult. The breakfast buffet itself was underwhelming, less food options on Friday than on the weekend. I am at least happy that our rooms were clean and that check in and out was easy.

The staff was fine. The property seems dated, and I felt like I was in 1987. Functionally things were in working order, although weekday breakfast was poor. May try again as price was very reasonable though.
