Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report dirty rooms, stains on bedding, towels unwashed, hair in bathroom, ants and possible bedbugs — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
7
Mixed reports: several staff were friendly and helpful at times, but there are notable incidents of unfriendly/unprofessional front-desk behavior and slow/problematic handling of issues.
Location
8.5
Frequently praised as convenient/close to activities and events; location is a consistent positive across reviews.
Room Quality
6.5
Rooms often described as small but comfortable with good beds and shower pressure; however issues like firm beds, poor pillows, broken fixtures and cramped bathrooms lower the score.
Amenities
6
Basic amenities present (breakfast, hairdryers, refrigerators) but several reports of broken/fridge, non-working hairdryer, lack of AC in some buildings and limited breakfast seating/variety.
Value for Money
6.8
Mixed: several guests call it good value or a good price, while others feel the cost is not justified given cleanliness/maintenance issues.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast is repeatedly mentioned as decent/good and a positive feature, though with limited variety, occasional shortages (OJ/eggs) and seating constraints.
Overall Experience
7
Overall mixed impressions: many guests were satisfied (clean/comfortable basics, good breakfast, friendly staff at times), but a number of serious negative incidents (unclean rooms, pests, maintenance failures, rude staff) meaning experiences vary widely.

Dirty, unprofessional, short lived.
Pros:

It was close to the event I needed to be at

Cons:

Room was dirty, towels were unwashed, staff talked bad about their management to us. Had to leave immediately, probably spent a total of 15 minutes in the room, and got a room at a different hotel and was unable to get a refund. Staff seemed to have no idea what they were doing and took forever to answer the phone in order to help, no manager on site to help handle the issues.
