Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, but the surroundings were noisy, with people yelling and screaming outside and a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. The hotel's location was great for exploring the city, although the sight of a dirty plate left unattended for days was off-putting. The service was friendly and accommodating, although at times staff seemed more interested in entertaining each other than assisting guests. The dining options were limited, especially for those with dietary restrictions, but the overall value for money was decent considering the central location of the property.
The hotel had a noisy environment due to its location facing a road and close to a gate where guests caused disturbances at night. However, the attached cafe served delicious food and the overall cleanliness was excellent.
The hotel may not be the fanciest, and there can be some noise from Uncles Tavern, but it was constantly maintained, surprisingly quiet even on the roadside, and cleaned daily.
The hotel provides good-sized, clean rooms in a great location close to the mall. The staff are welcoming and extremely helpful, making the stay enjoyable. The noisy surroundings can be a drawback, though the value for money is apparent.
