One of the staff isn’t too friendly and rude while another staff was very helpful. I wouldn’t want to throw names so I will keep this review short.

There was no breakfast. Housekeeping was an issue. There was a broken metallic pin on the carpet. I got heart on my right feet. Very annoying as I had to drive for 3 hours.
