"The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms and hallway were quiet, which I really appreciated. The bathroom is nice and big. Things that can be improved: There was tons of dust on the shelf above the bed and dust on the main table. There is no fridge or microwave in the room. Breakfast is the same food every day so if you're staying for a week, you'll get bored. There was no variety of meats available. You can eat pork or pork. That's it."
