Fantastic Stay Experience
clean room spacious bathroom
the room was spacious, nicely decorated and clean. i received an upgrade to a double room instead of a single one. i found a large bed only for myself. the bathroom included all amenities and felt spacious and very clean.
i noticed a smell in the hallway outside our room. the road outside was quite busy, so it was noisy. i heard several sirens.

Excellent stay near everything
cute staff bright room daily cleaning
The staff members were very cute and helpful. The rooms were clean and bright. I also found lovely towels and daily room cleaning. Parking at the hotel proved useful..
Despite the double windows the hotel is awfully noisy. The hotel sits just in front of a busy road. I recommend bringing earplugs.

The staff was receptive and helpful. It's good to know they keep the rooms clean and well maintained.
i found the hallway outside my room often had an unpleasant smell and the road outside was very noisy. i could constantly hear sirens passing, likely due to the nearby hospital. this made it difficult to relax in my room.
