Satisfactory Stay with Minor Issues
helpful staff friendly staff great location parking space slow elevator no bathroom fan dead flies
The staff were helpful and friendly. They provided excellent service. The location of the hotel is great and I got a parking space. The room was very clean.
The elevator was slow. I frequently could not use it because people left the lift door open on other floors. My bathroom had no fan. Condensation just stayed in the room. Dead flies were all over the window sills, not very pleasant.

uncomfortable beds atrocious noise
the room was spacious enough.
i booked a twin room and the beds were uncomfortable. the springs were clearly shot because i reminded me of i was sleeping on a lumpy rock. also, the noise level from outside was atrocious and i heard people yelling until almost 4am and i hardly sleep.
