Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were small and poorly arranged, but they were nice and clean. The breakfast was very limited, which was a downside. On the bright side, the service was welcoming and informative, making me feel well taken care of.
I stayed at this 3-star hotel for a night and found the rooms to be very neat and tidy, offering a homely vibe. The staff was helpful and friendly. However, the location is a bit far from the airport, taking about 20 minutes to reach. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy, perfect for a good night's sleep, but I found it a little small especially when trying to fit a luggage dolly inside. It was very quiet at night, which I loved, but the dining options were a bit limited. The location was brilliant, with major attractions just a stone's throw away, but the parking costs nearby were quite high.
