Excellent Stay, Great Location!

fast check-in comfortable bed efficient shower

Check-in was super fast and my room was large I noticed very clean. I loved the good decor and the bed was comfortable and helped me get a good night's rest. The toilets were large and the shower was impressively efficient after a long day.

The walls are super thin it was hard to sleep due to noise from other rooms. I could hear doors opening and shutting and they sounded like slams.

i was a little disappointed with a few things. the bathroom sink did not drain properly, so it was hard to use. the shower space seemed small and the door did not close right. some of the staff didn't even say hello, which i found impolite.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

dirty shower broken blinds

The staff was friendly and helpful.

I found the cleanliness lacking. The shower had curly hair, and I had to clean it myself. The remote control was also full of dirt, and the blinds were partially broken. The parking was also an issue, as there was no guaranteed parking space at the hotel.
