Clean, simple, if you come in at night, you do need to ring the door bell to get the front door open(9:30pm) which was fine and we were taken care of in check in quickly. Rooms clean and what you need. Breakfast had plenty of choices(even for gluten free folks there was Udi blue berry muffin and yougurt. eggs/sausage/cereal for others and coffee etc.

The hotel is ok for 1 night... the pool was a disaster with no towels and everything on the floor, it was so dirty but when we complained to the front desk, we were told that this will be only fixed tomorrow. Rooms are outdated but spacious and enough for one night.
