Basic hotel. Quiet if you’re not lakeside. Room was adequate. Two issues from my room: 1. The bathroom sink was super high. The basin was on top of the cabinet and for me was chest high. This made washing my hands or face quite awkward and uncomfortable. 2. No place to charge electronic devices. There was one very loose outlet several feet from the bed, and I had to unplug the coffee pot to charge my phone. Thank goodness I had brought a long cord. I had to charge my camera battery in the bathroom.

A bit of a dungeon

I had asked for a room with bath and the guy at the front desk said the room came indeed with a bath. Well, it did not. I asked to switch, he said it was booked up. But the sign in the window said: Vacancy. So I think he was just too lazy to do the switch. The room was nasty. Hidden behind a staircase, dark...the head of the bed was tucked underneath the only window, so you either woke up at 6am with the sunshine or got the streetlamps to shine on your head all night. Not a good feel overall.

Don’t stay here if you need darkness or quiet to sleep. Bed is arranged such that the outside light shines right on the head of the bed. AC unit is noisy and needs to be fully turned on/off via the circuit breaker (circuit breaker was off when we got the room). Whoever renovated this place clearly hates their job and it shows across the room, like how the mirror is resting on screws sticking out of the wall or how the sink is weirdly high. No soap holder in the shower, microwave plus fridge plus everything else plugged into a power strip on the nightstand, etc. the list of cut corners goes on.
