Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's convenient location, especially its proximity to universities and hospitals, as well as the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds. However, many were dissatisfied with the parking situation, citing high fees and confusing access, and several reviews highlighted subpar service experiences, including unfriendly staff and slow check-in. While some guests appreciated the friendly staff and value for price, others found the hotel dated and in need of renovation. Overall, the positives centered on location, cleanliness, and bed comfort, while parking and service were common pain points.
