Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great central location, making it convenient for short stays. The rooms could use some updating and lack certain amenities, but the hotel offers a peaceful setting. The service quality varies from unprofessional to exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The dining options are limited, and the facilities are satisfactory overall.
