8.8/10 Excellent! (189 reviews)
"Room was clean. The hotel in general is a bit dated. Staff was nice. It was expensive, but everything there is expensive. The only thing I take issue with was the $300 hold for "damages". I find that to be excessive when most hotels hold $25 to $100 for incidentals."

"The owner(?) tried to blame our coworker damaging a ceiling light many feet from reach and charged him $40, in spite of holes in the walls, dirty room, lights barely worked, I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re up to being dinged for damages you didn’t do."
