Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's convenient location, clean rooms, and friendly staff, with several highlighting the professionalism and helpfulness of the front desk. The restaurant and parking facilities were also positively noted. However, many guests expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanliness, particularly the hallways and pool area, which was often closed or poorly maintained.

Overall, the hotel offers good value for its location but needs improvements in cleanliness and pool maintenance.
