There was a brief heavy rainstorm and the parking lot was so flooded we could not get out to our car. A bare-footed employee, coming in from outside, warned us about the water.

There was a nice restaurant there but the continental breakfast was poor. Plumbing needs work and the room heater was noisy and couldn’t be adjusted.
