The staff was great but that hotel needs some TLC. The property is old AC kept needing to be reset the worst wifi I experienced in my life . A great staff can’t help with those shortfalls. They are in need of a major upgrade. And try to get an IT department that helps with the WiFi issues.

Top quality room in every way except no microwave. That didn't matter to me because I was not willing to go shopping without a escort of some kind.
Breakfast buffet was excellent but expensive at $24. I would prefer an a la carte option because I'm a light eater.

This is average 3 star hotel. Bathroom faucet was broken, didn’t hv head shower. Surrounding area is unsafe to walk around by yourself. Dinner buffet was terrible. So I ordered a ka carte which was good. Breakfast buffet was good. Staff was friendly
