What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed. Several reviewers praised the atmosphere, service, and rooms, and specifically highlighted friendly and attentive staff when issues arose. However, other reviews raised significant concerns about cleanliness, citing a dirty bathroom, cracked tile, a clogged shower drain, an unreliable minifridge, unvacuumed lobby carpet, and stains or debris in hallways.

Overall, opinions vary widely between guests who found the stay pleasant and convenient and those who experienced maintenance and service breakdowns.
