Oriana

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival, the staff were super friendly. Navigating the building was slightly confusing because they were undergoing renovations (I stayed in July 2025), but I was glad to see that they care to make improvements to their building. I booked a deluxe room with 1 queen bed. My room was clean, spacious, and I had no issues with the wi-fi. Unfortunately there is no on-site parking, but there was free street parking nearby/just outside of the building (I do not remember if it was free 24/7, or just on weekends when I had stayed). Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

The room was very small but clean. The widow trim showed signs of water damage and/or mold. The chair was not usable as the legs were very loose and unstable. It really requires some upkeep maintenance.
