“Hotel Rapids feels contemporary, with updated rooms that offer practical amenities like microwaves and breakfast vouchers; the location is convenient for quick access, although traffic noise can be a factor. In my opinion, the modern style might not suit everyone, but the ease of coming and going is a definite plus.”
