Room was very dated, the curtains hung over the bed so that made it very uncomfortable for whoever was sleeping on that side. We had zero toiletries other than toilet paper and hand soap. The staff were very nice and apologetic. Breakfast staff was great, we had food allergies and they accommodated so that was great.
