Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pretty below average property with no cleanliness. Staff was rude and had no respect for customers. There was no toilet paper in the room and reception said they can't deliver it until 8:00AM as they don't have anyone to deliver. I won't use it ever again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was conveniently central and well priced for what it was.. downsides were that the room had no windows at all, it was VERY loud all night, constant banging and creaking and the fire alarm went off while I was having a shower because I didn't close the bathroom door.. I'd stay again in a pinch but reckon I could do better
