Staff are very friendly! The location is walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores etc. The continental breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was very clean. The only negative was the carpet. I stayed there before and the bottom floor rooms didn’t have carpets so much nicer. The top floor needs some upgrades otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

Clean bathroom, dirty floors

The room was okay. The decorations were modern and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean, but the room floors were filthy. It was clear that no one has mopped them for a while. The floors felt gritty and my bare feet were black after 10 mins of walking around. I ended up putting on socks and my husband opted to walk around in shoes.
