I would never book this place ever again
Pros:

Almost nothing

Cons:

The place smelled full of tobacco and weed. The car parking area needs to be fixed. My car is damage with the way the concrete island is placed in the middle when driving into the hotel.

You get what you pay for ...
Pros:

Price was great, most staff were friendly. Location and parking was convenient.

Cons:

The male staff member on check in and check out was extremely dour, rude and souless.

If you are only providing one pillow per person please ensure they arent flat as a pancake, my neck was aching daily.

The top bunk was provided with only a sheet to attempt to warm a freezing cold vinyl covered mattress. Luckily packed blankets in the car helped with that.
The window was draughty and the dated heater worked overtime to keep it warm.

Otimo custo beneficio.
Pros:

Utilizamos o hotel como uma parada para descanso durante nossa viagem. A localização foi um ponto positivo, com diversos bons restaurantes a uma curta distância a pé. O custo-benefício valeu a pena e, como já estou acostumado a me hospedar na rede Ibis, a vantagem é sempre saber exatamente o padrão de qualidade e conforto que vamos encontrar.

Cons:

O único ponto que não nos agradou tanto foi a cama beliche utilizada por nossa filha, que não era muito confortável. O material parecia ser revestido de plástico, o que gerava alguns ruídos sempre que ela se movimentava. Além disso, há uma linha de trem passando bem ao lado do hotel. Apesar de as janelas contarem com isolamento acústico, ainda era possível ouvir um pouco do barulho dos trens. No entanto, nada que tenha comprometido nossa estadia ou ultrapassado um nível tolerável de ruído.
