Reviews and Ratings
When I first entered the hotel, the rooms had a bit of a stink to them, which wasn't ideal. Unfortunately, the walls were quite thin, allowing every sound to come through, especially since they were booked by a group. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and brightness of the room, which was slightly larger than I anticipated. The bedroom had no issues, and the location was very convenient.
