We were given a room that wasn't cleaned but was then goven an upgraded room so it was okay to us. Complimemtary breakfast was a definite bonus with better-than-expected choice of continental breakfast items. Overrall, not bad but the attitude of the staff was below par and needs better training.

We got a kind suite and our no doesn't have a window. The window would be helpful to air out the room of the foul smell. The staff is friendly.
