This was a very average hotel, but acceptable considering the price. I’ve stayed there before and had a better experience, so maybe it was a one off this time around.

Only disliked, i never stay in any hotel that does not have parking for customers, i had to find street parking, and the street surrounded the hotel unsafe and last of you can say night people stand around waiting for something, you know what i mean. Will never stayed there again.

Staff were great, but hotel is very basic. Fine for one night. Shower had hot water the night I arrived but no hot water the morning I left. The elevator also broke but was fixed quickly so I didn’t have to take luggage down 8 flights of stairs. Also no light switch next to the bed or lamp so inconvenient having to get up and down to turn on/off the light
