My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great with restaurants all around, but the room cleanliness was an issue that needed attention. The service was friendly, although a bit unprofessional at times. The dining experience left much to be desired, lacking in both quality and Wi-Fi availability. On the bright side, the area was quiet, and the hotel had some positive amenities.

I stayed at this hotel and found the room to be very dirty. I even had to ask my husband to buy some Lysol to spray everything with because it seemed like the bathroom hadn't been cleaned for a while. The bed was old and musty with stains, so I wouldn't recommend it. However, despite these issues, the rooms were ultimately clean.

Upon arrival, the hotel seemed tidy and modern, but unfortunately, the rooms appeared worn out and neglected. The service was a mix of rude interactions during booking and friendly encounters on-site, yet there were attempts to overcharge and request undisclosed deposits. The location was somewhat inconvenient, with issues like broken washers and cramped lobby spaces. The dining experience lacked prompt restocking and monitoring, though the quality was acceptable. Overall, the facilities did not meet expectations.

The hotel room was not up to standard, with curtains drawn to mask the old and musty bed, numerous stains, and an overall unclean feeling. Despite attempts to improve the cleanliness with personal disinfectants, the room remained unpleasant. The service was inconsistent, ranging from rude interactions during reservation to friendliness marred by unprofessional appearances. The location, although convenient for our plans, lacked a continuous water flow and was difficult to control the room temperature. The dining experience was disappointing due to slow restocking and lack of necessary amenities. Despite these issues, the facilities were basic but functional.
