7.6/10 Good! (1,009 reviews)
This location was a little bit of a catfish situation. You walk into the lobby, and then take the elevator to your floor, just for it to be a motel. Our room also wasn’t as nice as pictures. However, the staff was extremely helpful and nice.

Everything about this property was perfect for the two of us. Location was great, bus stop right out front to get around the city and easy to walk to a variety of different shops and restaurants. Pots, pans, and dishes were sufficient for us to make breakfasts and quick lunches most mornings, no dishwasher but they did have a drying rack to hand wash dishes. TV could probably do with an upgrade, it worked fine but it’s not a smart tv, on the other hand we weren’t spending a whole lot of time sitting around in the condo so it didn’t matter much to us. I think it’d be cramped for more than 2 people but for a couple of vacation it was perfect, would definitely book this spot again!

The breakfast was great and you can tell the two women I encountered working the buffet, cared about their job. They took great pride in keeping everything stocked, fresh and clean. Good job ladies!!
