Guest Ratings & Reviews
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be almost like a cozy haven in the winter thanks to the heater in the rooms. However, I should warn you that in the summer, it might get a bit hot or noisy, or even both. The private section of the rooms was a nice touch, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The hotel offered great wifi services, a very satisfying breakfast, and the option for paid shuttles to airports.
The hotel is a bit small for the price, lacking storage space, but cozy enough for a group of three. The service was excellent, especially in helping me arrange for special needs. The location is convenient in a good neighborhood with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was decent, offering a standard menu. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and limitations.
