Friendly staff, nice clean room, and good breakfast options.
4-night trip

10/10

Great hotel! The only issue I had is that the room beside me was playing the tv loudly late at night (after midnight) and it was annoying. I didn’t tell the front desk about it, because it wasn’t a huge deal, but the walls made be a bit thin. Definitely not a reason to not stay here. Breakfast was good. One of the machines wasn’t working but there was still plenty of other stuff offered.

My stay was good. Other than not knowing or seeing that there was an additional $100 security deposit to pay when I got to the hotel. I enjoy the fact that I can book without paying upfront. It was clean, staff were nice.
