What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Yet Functional

I had a comfortable stay in a cozy room that was perfectly clean. It had a small refrigerator, desk, and closet which added to the functionality of the space. Even though the room was on the smaller side, it suited my needs for a couple of nights.

Clean and Practical

The bathroom, though compact, was perfectly clean. I appreciated the daily housekeeping which ensured that the space remained tidy throughout my stay. It had everything I needed, despite the size.

Pleasantly Functional

While I didn't expect a lot of entertainment options, I found the TV functional and offered a few channels to unwind with after a busy day. It served its purpose well!

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was outstanding, placing me close to everything, but there was a bit too much noise around. The rooms, though small and slightly dated, were not too bad with some new furniture. The service was helpful and nice, but having to leave the key in the lobby every time was a slight inconvenience. Overall, the hotel offers a good value for the price paid.
