“While some rooms might present issues with noise and dated decor, others offer a delightful surprise, especially the mini-apartment-style rooms that are spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The staff's warm welcome seems to be a high point for many, yet inconsistent responses to guest disturbances suggest management could be more attentive. Ultimately, a stay here appears to depend heavily on room allocation and the responsiveness of staff to specific issues.”
