5/5 Excellent
"We felt very safe and clean. The hotel security and staff were attentive and went above and beyond. We were impressed with the service. We did feel that the single rooms were small and the doorways tight. Also the beds were extra firm like sleeping on a sheet of wood. I would likely still stay there again, however, it is difficult to sleep on those firm beds."
