Very clean! I was afraid to book because of comments I saw about it being old and dirty. In my opinion and personal experience the hotel was great. It was very clean. I saw workers constantly cleaning around. And breakfast was pretty good. Workers were cleaning the tables and refilling constantly. Overall great experience.
