"Fantastic Location and Value for money"

Reviewed December 17, 2025 NEW

Had an awesome overnight stay. Added breakfast to the package which was value for money and convenient. Staff we're accommodating and friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. Leaving the luggages at the lobby was free for same day. Had a couple of hours roam around. Fantastic location. We're definitely coming back.

"Great location but could use some improvements."

Great service! Very quiet. Hotel is old and dated without any amenities. The first room had an animal odor but the staff was quick to respond to our complaint and moved us to a different room. As per other reviews, the king bed isn’t a true king but 2 beds together and it seemed short ( I’m only 5’5 and my feet hung off). Should have got a queen. Great location for our staycation! A few updates like new carpet or laminate flooring would make a big difference. Enjoyed our stayed nevertheless.
