Rooms were OK, bed was comfortable, housekeeping staff was extremely friendly. Front counter staff was not overly friendly morning or evening shift. Coffee always available! Sunrise view front ground floor room was spectacular! Stated in a suite with 2 queen beds, loved the kitchen area that divided the two bedroom areas.

The hotel was run down with broken fixtures in our room. The tv did not work and bathroom was gross. The staff was very helpful and friendly but some money needs to be put into fixing things up. Not a place I would stay again.
