Wifi issues making connection very challenging. Also, pool needs updating (more water need in pool, better lighting, dingy ceiling, too heavily chlorinated). Better gluten free breakfast options needed too. Thanks!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not clean and the hotel is very simple with nothing much to do in or around it. When we tried to use the foldout bed, under the cushions were lots of crumbs and dirty socks. Obviously they do not move anything when cleaning. The staff was very nice but also the breakfast was very basic.
