The hotel Was fine for a brief stay. I wouldn’t make a family vacation out of it though. The hotel itself is old and dated and needs maintenance. Actually I saw it under renovation while I was there which is a good thing but the day I check in, for a solid hour from 330pm to 430 pm they’re was drilling or sawing near or above my room and I had to leave for awhile. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about that

I was disappointed with the suite as it smelled bad like a wet dog, we had to ask for another room. There was no wifi in the rooms and they said it was not working for the past few weeks. They also cut the water when I was about to shower but that was only for an hour. Overall I was very disappointed
