Stayed here for 2 nights as a solo traveler and had a great experience. The hotel is older but very well maintained, and my room was spotless. I felt safe and comfortable the entire stay. Breakfast was basic but totally fine, plus there are plenty of great food options nearby. Check-in and check-out were both quick and easy. Would definitely stay again!
