Save your money, go elsewhere!

Lumpy mattress and pillows, no coffee in room, faulty TV, minimal breakfast of ultraprocessed carbs. Low quality all around. At least the front desk person was friendly.

Do not trust reviews - dirty, unsafe, & poorly ran

Don't trust the positive reviews. There is no way the average rating of legitimate guests is truly 8.4. Dirty. Not cleaned. Staff was either nowhere to be found or rude. There was no latch lock on the door to prevent it from opening more than an inch or two. I travel frequently and have quite honestly never felt more uncomfortable during a hotel stay.

Room was safe, clean, and good value. Don't expect the Ritz, but the room got the job done if you're looking for a place to rest your head and don't need all the bells and whistles.

Not a good place to stay.

Place is in a bad neighborhood next to an adult shop. It had no elevator to carry luggage to 2nd floor. Carpet in corridors, room, mini frig were not clean and smelled.

Tub for the shower was slippery and ended up falling in the tub. Bruised elbows and left hip. Your showers either need grip strips or a shower mat.
