8.4/10 Very Good! (326 reviews)
Excellent value for the minimalist traveler that needs the bare essentials. Virtual remote staff check is novel and efficient. Air conditioner did not work, rooms not well sound proof, parking limited but extra two spots outside. Good location. Limited amenities but expected for this value property. Would book again and recommend if at a good price.
