Good hotel but i probably wouldnt stay again due to the lights being so bright. they use blinds and dont have curtains/drapes with a very bright hallway light. we had to stuff pillows and blankets on window and it eas still bright enough to walk around without risk of tripping. without that you could pribably comfortably play board games
