8/10 Good
"My stay was very nice here at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and polite. My room was okay with a nice view of the city but it had an unpleasant smell in the room and some of the wall paper was peeling. I still would say I’d stay here again. It was not horrible at all. 4 stars from me."
