Trip to interior
Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with several choices.
Bathtub should have a grab bar for safety reasons

Clean bathroom, dirty floors
The room was okay. The decorations were modern and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean, but the room floors were filthy. It was clear that no one has mopped them for a while. The floors felt gritty and my bare feet were black after 10 mins of walking around. I ended up putting on socks and my husband opted to walk around in shoes.

It was quite busy and noisy. Could hear people walking above us and lots of noise from parking lot with people hollering. We were in the property's front and not as quiet s the back where we had previously stayed.

The service was great. This is a tired property in some areas of the interior and the rooms. The bathroom has been updates - this is well done. No doubt, I would stay here again as the reception was very professional and appreciated. Breakfast had many choices and the areas were clean. Good job! Thank you.

This hotel does not have lift. My mom is over 80 years old, we asked for a first floor room, the hotel could not offer us a room in first floor. It was so difficult for my mom to
go to the room in second floor.
