Gabriella

Room was good for the price however housecleaning was hit or miss and they did not clean the bathroom floor once in the 5 days we were there and on the days they did clean the room, they would forget to empty out the trash cans or left the bathroom sink dirty. Breakfast was just ok, nothing to rave about. The staff day staff was much more helpful than the night staff but both were friendly. The hotel itself is nice and centrally located. We walked almost everywhere.
