Summary of reviews

Guests had mixed experiences at the hotel. Many appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the location, cleanliness, and comfortable bedding. However, dissatisfaction arose primarily from issues related to room quality, including size discrepancies, musty smells, and a lack of free breakfast. Some felt the value for the price was not justified, citing issues like poorly maintained amenities and a loud fan. While some guests would return, they emphasized the importance of price and room conditions.

Pros (+) Room size was good. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was pricey, but good.
Cons (-) We had some questionable stains on the carpet in our room. Thankfully our baby isn't mobile yet, if he was crawling I would have been more upset.
