Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the good location of the hotel, which is convenient for exploring the area. However, many reviews highlighted significant cleanliness issues, including unpleasant odors, dirty bathrooms, and general lack of maintenance. The service was described as neutral, with some staff being friendly while others were not as accommodating. Overall, while the location is a plus, the hotel needs serious improvements in cleanliness and facilities.

Anonymous, May 2018
Pros (+) The location and staff
Cons (-) The room smelled like disinfectant spray and the carpets were disgusting. If you go, check the room before you pay. Buyer beware. We had to check into another hotel, this hotel was gross. We received a refund only after we called the next morning to ask the manager on duty. Thankfully, he was nice.
