"Our room was very clean. The hotel is dated, so some things are definitely not fancy. The hallway was dark and seemed older. However, our room was large and updated, and we slept well. We skipped breakfast, which was very basic. I don't think they have a pool or hot tub, but that was not on our agenda anyway, so we were happy with our stay."
