Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the helpful and friendly staff as well as the central location of the hotel. However, many reviews highlighted significant negatives including noise issues, poor cleanliness, outdated and small rooms, uncomfortable beds, and a generally unsafe and unpleasant surrounding area with many homeless people nearby. Elevator and WiFi problems were also frequently mentioned. Overall, the hotel offers basic accommodation with some positives in service and location but falls short in comfort and environment.
