The staff, were nice and professional but the rooms were depressing with no color and I had to change room. Previous room was musky, when I complained a staff came to dpray the room with my husband and myself in the room. So strange and offensive. I finally was given a decent room. Brakefast was boring and same thin repeated daily. I stopped going on my 3rd day.
