"For the price, it was very good and I would stay here again. It’s not the Hilton so manage your expectations accordingly. Pleasant staff. Comfy bed. Good pillows too, not those flat useless ones. I would prefer more light in the bathroom and housekeeper missed some tiny bits of trash on the floor. ..."
