adequate, but with some issues
limited space unwelcoming staff
the breakfast selection was good. i enjoyed the variety.
our family room felt cramped for four people with luggage, so we struggled to move around easily. the lack of space for drying towels was inconvenient. the staff seemed not cute, i find this is unacceptable.
