The room was very nice and I appreciated the excellent fan provided, as the weather is hot even at night.Very friendly helpful staff. The amenities generally were prettt good. The bathroom was ok, with nice shower, although the decor is old fashioned and could be spruced up a bit. The breakfast was ok, but quality was not quite as good as most similar priced hotels I have stayed at recently.
