Everything was great! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and we had no issues during our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay here again.
Great staff, budget-friendly, and convenient location! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great stay! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the hotel was budget-friendly, and the location was very convenient. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant experience. We would definitely consider staying here again!
The staff was very helpful and rooms were clean and organized.Breakfast area felt slightly small to accommodate larger amount of people, especially earlier in the morning. But overall, we had a positive experience.
Great spaceous room, enough space for the whole family, able to spend more time together with friends from another room. Room is clean, air-conditioner works well, we had a good sleep. Staff were cordial.
Our Front Desk greeter, Margaret, was absolutely amazing! Best greeting I've ever had at a hotel! She was super friendly and seems to have the ability to read guest quite well to make then feel completely comfortable. And "at home." Property is well maintained and the the rooms were very clean and comfortable. A 10/10 !
Breakfast menu could include hot food, and probably not impacting costs. Gym could have some weights to bring more choices to the customers. Carpet on halway had stains and dark spots. Excellent service, very kind staff, with the culture of supporting the guests.
the room was clean and modernized except for the bathroom. The staff was friendly and ok. The elevator to the fifth floor wasnt working so you had to take stairs to the fourth floor to go down that was definately an inconvience and wasnt told when you checked in found out when we tried to go downstairs.
Everything was so good! Staff was friendly and helpful ! Breakfast was a good start of the day. The pool and hot tub help you relax after a long day. Rooms were clean !
The room: The room was spacious and had an iron, a fridge, a TV, and a coffee machine, which was excellent. The bed was king-size. We stayed in room 514, and at least in our room, the mattress was not in good condition, as it was sunken in the middle, creating a V shape. It did not allow me to rest well, as I kept waking up with a sore back.
The breakfast: There are fruits, cereals, boiled eggs, muffins, crepes, juice, and coffee. It is not a full continental breakfast, but you can bring your own cheese, ham, tomatoes, or other food to complement it.
The amenities: The fitness room is tiny, with only a few cardio machines. The pool and spa are nice, especially when the weather is cold outside.
Overall: Considering that this is one of the most affordable hotels in the city, I give it a good rating.
