Cleanliness
7
Generally reported as clean and tidy (multiple comments: 'Very clean', 'room was perfect'), though a few guests noted issues (mold in fridge edge, occasional bad smells/strong drain odor) lowering the score slightly.
Service
8
Mostly positive staff interactions: 'Staff was excellent', 'warm welcome', 'quick check in/out' and easy check-out; isolated service failures reported (locked out with no one at desk) but overall service seen as helpful.
Location
8.5
Consistently praised for location and parking: close to cruise departures/center, convenient for travelers and easy access; many guests mentioned the practical, walkable location.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms described as spacious and generally comfortable with good bedding in many reviews, though several noted hard beds or some areas feeling dated and in need of renovation.
Amenities
7
Some useful amenities cited (Netflix in French, coffee/dispenser, heated pool) but a few negatives (no kettle, fridge concerns, pool not always usable) make amenities overall average.
Value for Money
8.5
Frequently called a good value with 'excellent rapport qualité prix' and 'worth it for the price' — guests highlighted practicality and comfort for the cost.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Repeatedly criticized: breakfast described as very simple, limited, 'take-away' style, industrial options and small breakfast room — clearly the weakest area in reviews.
Overall Experience
8
Overall stays are positive and practical for the price (many recommendations), with occasional operational or room issues; overall sentiment is favorable.

no recomendable si vas para turismo. Pero es barato.
Pros:

estacionamiento

Cons:

el desayuno solo eran galletas y yogour empacadas, penca de plátanos verdes y café de máquina de mal sabor. Además está muy lejos de los lugares de interés turistico.

Das Betttuch war voller Haare, wir bekamen dann aber ein anderes Zimmer, in dem dann alles in Ordnung war, als wir uns beschwert hatten.

Was great, thanks again! I will return!
Pros:

Forgot my purse there, I was terrified it would be stolen. I returned and they had it and returned it to me... thanks so much for your honesty.
