The bathroom was dirty and the sofa bed mattress was so worn out that I could feel the springs against my body, making it impossible to sleep on it.

Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was courteous and helpful throughout—especially the team at the reception and room service, who were consistently attentive and professional. I felt safe during my stay, which is always a top priority. The kitchen appliances were all in good working condition, making it convenient for light cooking. Overall, the price was reasonable for the quality of service and amenities provided. Would recommend to others looking for a comfortable and budget-friendly option.

Pros:

This hotel is overpriced I do not recommend it. You have to pay extra for Internet access, towels, and they only do housekeeping every 8 days. It is unaceptable.

Pros:

The overall property looked run down and poorly maintained. The rooms are not very clean, stains on most walls and headboards. Our room did not have a working toilet and there was a whole in the floor. The worker was overwhelmed because she was dealing with other complaints. One woman had to sweep her own room. When I brought to her attention about the toilet she gave me a plunger and then if that didn’t work then she would have to contact a manger. We did get moved to a cleaner and more functional room. One of the blankets had major red stains and we couldn’t exchange it because by the time we noticed it as after 10 and there is no one to help you. There are a lot of poor patch jobs and missing places in the carpet. Would not say here again.
