Reviews and Ratings
I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel is clean and offers great value for money, I encountered several issues that dampened my experience. The dining was a highlight, especially the breakfast, but the service was inconsistent, and the room was smaller than expected for the price. It's a decent spot if you're looking for budget-friendly accommodations, but better organization is needed.
