This hotel is in need of a renovation. It's very dated and uncomfortable. The room had an awful smell. Lacked amenities. Would not stay there again. Pay the money and stay somewhere else.

When we entered our room , there was such a strong smell almost made me puke. Second things, the window was cracked, aminity was lacking at least expecting water in room and no body wash in bathroom and mat in the bathroom floor. The fridge has massive ice build up. The heater was so noisy. Breakfast and checking in/out was smooth. Plenty of parking available.

I loved the hotel aesthetic with the pink doors and pink decor inside my room. My room was clean, the view was good, and the hotel was quiet. The fruit at breakfast weren’t in the best condition they were very ripe and not fit to eat but everything else was pretty average. It was nice to have something to snack on. Overall it was a good stay
