5.8/10
Our recent stay was quite a mix. We loved the perfect location that allowed us to easily access attractions, but the room cleanliness left much to be desired. The staff was friendly and attentive, but our experience was marred by significant issues in the room we were assigned. Overall, the price was reasonable considering the location, but we expected more from the accommodations.
Rooms

The room we initially received was dirty, with cigarette ashes and stains, which was very disappointing. After moving to a second room, we encountered issues with basic amenities like towels being missing.
Service
