We stay here because it is on the cheaper side, yet the rooms and bathrooms are clean. The beds are comfy enough, we bring our own pillows though. The staff is friendly and helpful when or if you have an issue. If you’re on a budget, yet need a night out, this hotel is perfect for the price.

Very comfortable. I only wish I had the side facing away from the streets. The front desk told me those rooms were not available, but as I was looking at them, I saw no one occupying those rooms.
