9.2/10 Wonderful! (764 reviews)

Few good things are 1. Receptionists are welcoming. 2. There are plenty of free parking around the hotel and super easy to walk to the city. The major downside of this place was that, the room was dirty from the beginning and the staff didn’t care to clean properly. Felt like they didn’t even bother vacuuming the floor. The shower had mold and toilet seat was broken. The AC vent had so much visible dust and had allergies throughout the stay. I wouldn’t personally recommend this place or going back again.
