Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a good location in a quiet residential area off a main road. The service was friendly and approachable, although some minor issues with the rooms needing a little update and decoration. The dining experience could be improved in terms of variety and pricing but worth the price. The location is convenient, offering free parking nearby, and the staff was accommodating.
The hotel had comfortable rooms that were spotless and cleaned daily, although a strong smell of paint was present. Despite getting a little cold, the bedding and towels were always fresh. The service, while accommodating for walking needs, lacked efficiency during check-in. The location was appropriate for the trip, offering a clean and extremely comfortable bed for a good night's sleep. The dining experience was subpar, and guests were advised to consider alternatives nearby. Overall, the stay was decent with a few areas needing improvement.
The hotel is located in a quiet area, with easy access to the city, and a short walk from restaurants and bars. The rooms were small and showed signs of wear, but the location was convenient. The service was lacking and not very attentive. The dining experience left much to be desired, requiring guests to look for alternatives outside.
