Perfect Accommodations for Larger Parties
This hotel is an excellent place to stay when travelling with parties of four or more.

Bathrooms on the Small Side

Hotel Needs Some TLC
While still functional, guests say that the furniture is a bit dated and the decor is tired. Guests also mention that the rooms include a coffee pot, but no supplies to actually make coffee.

Factors Lead to Poor Night's Rest
Guests say several issues may cause trouble sleeping at night. If you're in a unit near the street, you're likely to hear traffic noise until the wee hours of the morning, and the blinds aren't heavy enough to block out morning light or street lights.
