8.6/10 Excellent! (269 reviews)
This property is nice. Rooms are a bit small but clean and ok for a single traveler. No alarm or any other clock was in the room I stayed in. I didn’t need it..until I realized it was not in the room. 🤗
I’m writing this a week after my stay and my security deposit is still not refunded.
