8/10 Good

"The hotel was pretty comfortable. Room had a lot of space and the bed was comfortable. We didn’t have a shower curtain when we arrived so the lady at the desk handed us one and said we could do it because it was easy to put up, otherwise we had to wait until she had time because she was busy. Our phone in the room didn’t work and they didn’t fix it or even look at it during the 3 days we were there. The staff was pretty rude whenever we had to ask for anything. "
