Comfy, clean, and affordable!

Not many frills attached, but so what? It’s affordable, it’s clean as a whistle, and very comfortable. Hard to find that combination these days. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were all in top condition. Just a word to the wise: the room wasn’t totally soundproof.

low price, high nicotine

Last minute reservation due to emergency. Picked the hotel above other options since it said "smoke free". The halls reeked like a home from the 40s that somebody smoked in for 60 years and the sellers tried to cover up the stench. The room air was stagnant - had to open a window. Lots of noise early in the morning. Would not recommend.
