Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is undergoing renovations, but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious, although slightly in need of updates. The smell was not pleasant, and the mattress was old and uncomfortable. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for accessing nearby attractions and sights. The dining experience was a bit disappointing, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel rooms could use some updating compared to the pictures online, but they were immaculately clean. Disappointingly, the balcony view turned out to be of a parking lot. Additionally, a strange incident with the staff resulted in an unexpected extra charge for alleged smoke smell in the rooms, which I am disputing with my bank. Be cautious of this issue.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff. However, the rooms could use some updating, and soundproofing is lacking. The location is great for those looking for a quiet stay near local dining options, but the room pricing may not reflect the room condition.
