9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (12)
"Enjoyable stay and a great budget property choice. Staff were all helpful, Wi-Fi good, rooms, although snug, more than adequate for sleeping and showering. The one thing that let the property down was the lack of options at breakfast. Everyday a different breakfast meal was given but you had no idea what it would be and didn’t have another option to choose if it wasn’t to your liking. That said, the quality of the food was good. Would happily stay at the property again if looking for somewhere...

"This place is disgusting. Seriously DONT STAY HERE. Room photos are completely fake. This room is small, dilapidated, and smells gross. When you leave, you will want to shower that stench off you immediately. Entire hotel requires carrying baggage up 3 stories in a tiny staircase. Rooms are higher up than that. Hard to get suitcases up. "
