Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and quiet rooms, though a bit small and hot, with limited continental breakfast. Service was a mix of unfriendliness and friendliness. The location was convenient for some activities but noisy, and dining was basic.
The hotel's rooms were basic but clean, offering what you pay for. However, they tended to be cold with no visible thermostat, leading to a stuffy and hot atmosphere. The service was a mix of friendly and concerning moments, like staff opening the door without checking for guests and being found asleep behind the counter late at night. The location was convenient for specific activities but noisy due to being on a busy street. The dining experience fell short of expectations, described as sub-standard and not worth the extra cost. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, making it an average stay with room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located close to town, offering a spacious room with necessary amenities and a pleasant view of the car park. Although the room was a bit noisy due to street traffic and heat, it was still possible to get a good night's sleep. The continental breakfast was limited and not well presented but the wardrobe space was ample, and the heated bathroom looked fresh.
