We would book there again.

Friendly staff, clean rooms as far as we knew. Hotel does not have breakfast. The room Jacuzzi worked well and held HOT water. Comfortable beds and big pillows, tv worked. I liked that they have good blackout curtains. It felt great to sleep in. Great stay for a low price.

If I was on my own and just needed a cheap bed for 1 night, it'd be fine. But for my wife and I for 2 nights... not good. We checked out early. Some rooms have permanent residents; very worn, no breakfast, luke warm shower water, bed meh, etc. Staff nice and polite though.
