Great value, great location, great service
Was very impressed with the price point for the quality of the hotel. Check in staff was very friendly and so many restaurants and shops were walking distance. Would easily stay here again.

Room was nice, perfect size for my small family. Bed was comfy. We did see a few ants sneaking around in the room, but once squashed presented no further issues

Little dated but great room and service overall.
The room overall was nice and I had a pleasant stay. The decor is a little dated and I didn’t like the comfort of the mattress but that is subjective to everyone’s personal preferences. I was still able to sleep and get ready for the next day without feeling groggy. The room was very clean and had all the amenities needed inside. A desk, table for eating, tv, microwave, and fridge.

Power outages
Good overall, but there is a noisy pool repair in the morning.
Also when we attempted to use microwave - power to TV, fridge and microwave oven turned off.. Called office - they turned some switch back on. Then in less than a minute the same power outage. Repeated - and it worked this time. Manager said that too many rooms were trying to use microwave simultaneously:)

just okay
The rooms need to have better quality beds and bedding in general as well as warm blankets I had to leave the heater on all night because it was freezing inside. Also egg for breakfast would be nice instead of just oatmeal, fruit and pastry some type of protein for breakfast please
