Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers neat and clean rooms, though a bit old and in need of updates. The location is accessible and central, great for organizing tours. Dining options are good but may be limited in choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag! On the upside, the staff was polite and helpful, and the location was quite convenient. However, the rooms were lacking in amenities and in need of refurbishment. The dining was decent but could use more variety. There were some hits and misses during my stay.
The hotel has good and simple bedding, nice amenities, and a workable atmosphere. However, the rooms are slightly old and need upgrading with modern gadgets. After staying in a Marriott hotel, I found it difficult to sleep in that room, but overall, my experience was very good.
