7.5
Basic amenities present (parking, onsite restaurant, guest laundry, fridge), but guests noted shortcomings (breakfast quality/holding, no bathroom exhaust fan, missing kitchen cloths in apartments).

7.5
Mixed comments: several guests praised price/value, while others felt the hotel was basic for the price and found the buffet breakfast overpriced.
