“The hotel's location is very convenient, and the check-in process was seamless; however, the interiors, particularly the rooms, show their age. While the room size was adequate and the bed comfortable, some elements like the pillows could benefit from an update, and while the staff is friendly and helpful and parking is available, the thin walls make for a potentially noisy stay. Overall, this is a budget-friendly choice that could use some refreshing.”
