2/10 Poor
22 Jan 2025
Dirty, noisy and just not worth the cheaper price.
Carpet in bathroom was soaking wet, shower was clogged, air filter on air unit was filthy. Bed was really hard and uncomfortable.Room downstairs was noisy til 2am. Breakfast was all high carb junk food, no eggs. They did have good fruit and coffee though but don't microwave their coffee cups because they will catch on fire. You'd think they would warn their guests. Room did have fridge and microwave which was nice. Overall, for the price I'd advise staying somewhere else.

The hotel looked so old it definitely needs some renovation. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. A lot of noise outside the room
