Look elsewhere for same priced and bigger rooms!
The beds….website stated the rooms were double beds. These beds were not queen. My husband and I barely fit but for even to be too small for and 8 and 13 year old!? Also, beds were on top of a tin/laminate frame. It made so much noise. Even if you shifted position, bumped your toe into the frame of the bed the tin was noisy. The pillows were small. Half of a standard size pillow. Bathrooms were TINY! Seemed more like a college dorm than a Best Western Hotel. I would not stay here again. Breakfast: (generous 6.5/10). Location: 8/10. Parking: 6/10. Rooms: 6.5/10. Bathroom: 6/10

Quiet room. Good air conditioning. Good breakfast. Terrace was a good place to relax at night and eat our breakfast in the morning. With the plants and shrubbery we felt secluded from the city.

Fine place but the shower had so little water
Overall it was a fine place, but the shower had so little water coming out of it - it was like a joke. It got hot enough, but it was such a light spray that it was hard to really feel like a shower. Watch out if you try to shampoo or have long hair - I don't see how you'd get the suds out. Also the toilet is crammed between the wall and the sink cabinet, so there's not much room there if you're larger. Overall though the place was fine, but the bathroom wasn't the greatest.
