Free valet was great. Room in decent condition but beds were very uncomfortable. Bathroom shower kept spilling water outside. A fridge and locker would have been much appreciated. Free breakfast was meh and service was slow. ##### Achintya Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Seyedehmediseh Jan 1, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall good experience. We had an early check-in and although the room was ready we had to pay some fees. Other than that it was a great downtown location and close to everything. ##### Seyedehmediseh Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyson Nov 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The overall property is very clean and the location is convenient for shopping and getting a quick bite to eat. The staff was very friendly and quick to offer assistance if they think you are looking a little lost. My one complaint is the free breakfast is very limited in what you can eat. But then again it is free and you have the option to pay for a regular meal ##### Tyson Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### broderick kieth Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great service clean good restaurant great location friendly helpful staff ##### broderick kieth Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel location is great.

None of the equipment I wanted to use were working! Both available treadmills were broken. Overall, I couldn't use the gym. That was one of the main reasons I booked that hotel, apart from location, so that was very disappointing. Other than that the service was great and breakfasts were nice. Great customer service. ##### Eran Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely spacious rooms Friendly reception team, the room is very spacious and well equipped.

Thats where the positive ends. Lukewarm shower water and broken A/C unit paired with very hard mattresses on mis-matched furniture gave the place a college dorm feel for the price of a good hotel. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Bed bugs - about 15 bites on both legs while sleeping; still itching the following day. Other than that, while central location was ideal for quick sightseeing of most important sites, but hotel location across from casino, homeless beggars, and drug addicts along the pedestrian mall outside the hotel raised safety concerns ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/695da614-fba9-41c0-ad0a-d4cc4f130b49-1757040775240.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonarda Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Arrived 2 hours early.
