The room was really comfortable and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was great, and the breakfast was decent. Took it down to 4 stars because the bathroom didn’t have a fan.

The hotel was okay overall, but there were a few big issues. There was no hot water during my stay, the room was also quite noisy, and the parking was overpriced compared to other places nearby. For the cost, I expected a more comfortable and hassle-free experience.

Wonderful friendly staff - rooms bit dated & tired

A warm welcome from the front desk. Always a smile and helpful. Rooms large, comfortable if not a little worn and dated - bathrooms especially. When I was there they were refurbishing the building and I was warned on arrival about some possible noise - there was none. Bed comfy and rooms quiet mostly. Location very good with most sites walkable.
