The rooms are adequate for sleeping and the shower/bath was fairly large. The beds are a little hard for my taste and the pillows completely flat. No AC, but there was a fan which died by the final day. Rooms were clean, but the cleaning staff left the damp/dirty towels from all the rooms that had been cleaned on the stairs between the floors. They were there for 2 days. It was okay for what it is. ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellence ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bhargav 25 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The location is ok but the rooms are really small for a family.
