8/10 Good
"This is a good hotel to stay but they don’t clearly say what is covered and what is not. Example they don’t explicitly say they have only paid parking and they tell you during check in. Also they don’t clearly provide the bed size and room size. I got a room for 2 adults and 2 kids where room and bed was very small."
