The hotel has a great location and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. The cleanliness of the common areas is a plus, but the rooms show signs of age and could really use an overhaul. The breakfast is somewhat overpriced for the variety offered, and there are some maintenance issues that detracted from my stay. Overall, I found it to be an average experience, but improvements could make it much better.
