Reviews and Ratings
Although the rooms were a bit dated with old equipment and furnishings, overall, they were very clean and functional, despite paint problems. The service was a mix of nice and polite interactions but lacking interest in addressing complaints. The location offered a comfortable stay despite some shabby areas and broken concrete. The dining experience was unappealing with limited options. The facilities, however, were decent.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. While the rooms were clean but dated, the heavy smoke made it uncomfortable. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, though it could have been better. The quiet hilltop location was a nice change, but the dining experience left much to be desired.
