This is a shoddy hotel with poor quality renovations with visible gaps in the door and no noise insulation. We could hear everything around us. Considering the price the hotel was charging, it was doubly unacceptable. I also did not get the larger room I booked and paid for. We left after only one night.

During this trip, I stayed at many hotels, and this hotel had the worst service. The front desk seemed to treat guests differently based on their background, which made the experience uncomfortable. On top of that, it was the only hotel that required providing a home address and a deposit, and interestingly, not every guest was asked for this—some were asked while others were not. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

Super clean rooms

Very clean, updated hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast offers some selection, but with only 3 tables, be prepared to take back to your room or car to eat.

Clean, comfortable hotel. Only complaint is about the room doors. When they slam shut it sounds like someone is pounding on the door. This was unsettling, to say the least.

The hotel is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants with easy access to the highway. The overall cleanliness was ok but the air conditioner in the room seemed like it was out of the early80's and struggled to cool the room. Outside temps of 29 celsius.

All in all a good stay.

Good parking. Excellent check-in. Room good and fairly spacious. No lift/elevator and rooms on the "ground" floor are slightly more expensive which doesn't seem quite fair.
