We've stayed here several times. Usually everything is very solid, especially the excellent breakfast buffet. Our most recent visit wasn't so great - we ended up with an old extremely creaky bed on springs that really ruined our sleep; unsuitable for a hotel room. We probably won't go back, which is a shame.
