8/10 Good
"The check in went great. The room was clean and it was very quiet. On our second day and again on check out day we had no hot water to shower. They didn’t just brush me off but took the time to explain that they were aware of the problem and were actively working on it. When we checked out, they explained that there was something going on with the gas line. They gave us a discount which was very much appreciated. Overall, it was a nice stay."

"The hotel was ok for what it was. It was just a place to sleep at night while we’re were visiting for a music festival. The bathroom roof was falling down and some old soap was left in the shower. The bed was broken so was almost falling into the middle of the bed. But other than that it was safe and quiet. Close to the airport so was cool seeing the planes land. Would stay here again for sure."
