I arrived on a Saturday. It was quite noisy, both around the property and other occupants on my floor-I was on the 3rd floor. Seems like a lot of locals hang out at the bar, and end up in the rooms? There is not a landline phone in the rooms, and no washcloths. Very scarce room. OK for the discounted price but I don’t think I’d be back on the regular room rate. Breakfast was good - the basic Continental breakfast fare.
