Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests frequently praised the hotel's central location and helpful, friendly staff. Many found the beds comfortable and the rooms adequately sized with useful amenities like microwaves and refrigerators. However, cleanliness was a common concern, with reports of mold, bugs, and stained sheets. Noise and safety issues were also mentioned, along with some dissatisfaction with parking and bathroom conditions. Despite these negatives, the hotel was seen as good value for its price and convenient for access to local attractions.
