Guest scores & sentiment

From 109 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-19

Guests consistently praise the convenient location, clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and solid breakfast selection. However, recurring billing disputes, unexpected charges, and occasional maintenance issues like noisy AC, renovation disruptions, or stale room odors temper the experience. Overall, it offers a reliable mid-range stay, though front-desk transparency and room upkeep need improvement.
