Cleanliness
6
Mixed comments: several guests praised clean rooms, but others reported smelly rooms, bathroom issues and a lack of basic cleaning (e.g., duster needed); overall slightly below average.
Service
7.6
Generally praised—many reviews call staff polite, responsive and friendly (extra early check-in, helpful shuttle), but multiple reports of staff giving false promises or being non-accommodative create inconsistency.
Location
8
Consistently positive: central location, close to shops and described as 'perfect' or 'very good' for many guests.
Room Quality
6.2
Mixed: some guests found rooms spacious and beds comfortable, while others reported worn/uncomfortable beds, leaks (bathtub/shower) and room wear—mildly below average.
Amenities
6
Mixed amenities: positives include airport shuttle and wellness/massage facilities, but several broken or non-functional items (jacuzzi/bain remous), plus unreliable internet detract from the score.
Value for Money
7.6
Strongly positive: many headlines and pros highlight good/very good value for money and upgrades available for modest extra cost.
Food and Beverage
5.8
Frequently cited as limited: breakfast and meal choices often described as sparse or in need of more variety; generally the weakest area for F&B.
Overall Experience
7.2
Overall mixed-positive: multiple guests enjoyed their stay (friendly staff, good location, value), but notable negative experiences (e.g., checking out early, service failures, facility issues) reduce the overall score.

Overall, I'd definitely say I received my moneys worth at this hotel...
Pros:

Breakfast was good, everything was fresh everyday. Wish there was a little more variety, but the food quality was good. ALL the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The facility is dated...but they make it as comfortable as possible. The STAFF was exceptional...however, when my wife and daughter came to spend the night with me for 1 night, I was told I needed to pay an additional $20. (Front Desk Person). The hide away bed looked like it was kept outside. I don't think it was used in a long time. (just guessing)

Great stay with friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient airport transportation. I would happily stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly and professional, and the airport shuttle service was very convenient. The room was quiet, and I had a pleasant stay.

Cons:

Nothing significant. The Wi-Fi could have been a little faster, but overall everything was very good.

Exéllent séjour malgré les problèmes de baignoires
Pros:

L'hôtel est vraiment très bien, très bien situé et dans un environnement calme. Le personnel est aux petits soins et tout le temps et à l'écoute de la moindre sollicitation. J'ai vraiment apprécié les échanges avec le personnel de la réception qui ont toujours été très professionnel quelque soit l'heure du jour ou de la nuit. Le petit déjeuner est extra, très très bon et le responsable de la salle et son équipe sont très aimable, gentil et serviable. Enfin, le personnel de nettoyage et de ménage est également très professionnel et agréable au quotidien.

Cons:

Nous avions réservé dans votre établissement parce qu'il y avait une baignoire avec bain à remous dans la chambre et malheureusement nous avons eu des problèmes de fuites d'eau par deux fois et malgré le changement de chambre, les problèmes étaient les mêmes, à chaque fois la baignoire fuyait. Nous avons changé deux fois de chambres et à chaque fois avons eu les mêmes problèmes de fuite d'eau de la baignoire !
Malgré ces problèmes je mets quand même la note de 10 car le personnel de cet hôtel est vraiment au top !!!
