Stayed here with my husband recently and was not impressed. I had to holler to get someone to assist me at check in. I could hear them in the back gossiping which is fine but get a bell or camera or something. The rooms were disappointing and kind of gross! There was stains or mold or something in the shower, a nasty stain on the bed and the water in the shower constantly dripped. The bathroom light flickered constantly and only half of it worked. It was also SO NOISY. I could not sleep at all the first night because it sounded like people were constantly opening and slamming their doors. It was so loud I thought they were trying to come into our room! The AC was also sooo noisy I’m not certain it worked. Safe to say I will not be back.

Although it’s under lobby renovation, the service and stay were very good. It was quiet.

I liked this hotel very much. It was clean, modern, and comfortable. The room was spacious and included a desk and a large TV screen. The bathroom had a fan—an important feature that many hotels, even five-star ones, lack.
The hotel offers a modest exercise room, a warm pool, coffee and tea available 24/7 in the lobby, and a nice breakfast with many options. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this hotel, as the quality-to-price ratio was very good.

Geräumiges schönes Zimmer. Leider wsr es nicht so sauber. Im Badezimmer aber auch auf dem Fussboden / Teppich hatte es unzählige Haare von den vorherigen Gästen. Das Personal war freundlich und gab Tipps für die Umgebung.

We stayed here last night & we were put right by the side entrance door. Which slams shut loudly every time it’s opened. It kept me up from sleeping since we checked in at 2:30am & we’re trying to sleep at 6am-9am during breakfast & checkout. For the sake of your future guests, fix that door. Add a door bar so it closes softly or restrict access to that door during sleeping hours, PLEASE. It made my sleep extremely unpleasant. Another issue was the tub had a pink soap scum ring & dirt all over it as if it’s not been properly cleaned in many, many uses. Which made us not shower before we checked out today. Our room was across from housekeeping and security so you heard everything all morning right out side our door, which had our do not disturb sign up.
