Good place for good money
Gael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I thought the cost was WAY over priced for what we had as accomodation. No way was I going to take a shower after observing other lack of wiping down when down. The tub of free toiletries was abominable for just a few things in a tub under the sink. No place to really put items in the room except on the bed and a few shelves. I will never stay here again.
Deborah, 1-night trip

Like the area and I didn't like the bed, matress was like a rock and not divisions like a curtain that should be mandatory in a mixed bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped and clean, lobby is welcoming and warm with a nice view.
