“A smooth check-in process and a comfortable bed in some rooms hint at the potential, although cleanliness appears inconsistent. One room's all-black shower and another's forgotten trash detract significantly. It's a mixed bag, needing improvements in hygiene to deliver a consistently positive experience.”

convenient location helpful staff functional shower small room thin walls street parking
The location was convenient. It allowed quick access to nearby attractions. The staff offered assistance with directions. I appreciated the bar service provided. It was a nice area to relax in the evening. The room had a functional shower.
My room was quite small. The walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms easily. The bed was not very comfortable. I found only street parking available.

Totally worth another visit!
friendly lady brand new bed clean bedding plump quilt
The lady welcomed us so warmly at arrival! She helped us with parking and showed us our room. She mentioned she was improving the hotel. The room featured a brand new bed and mattress. This bed was ridiculously comfortable. I slept so well! The bedding was clean, and the quilt was plump.
The room was very cold due to the heating system not working properly. The provided heater was not effective enough.
