Although the room was okay: clean but very small bed for one person. The property closed the lobby door from 23 to 7 o clock. If you’re happen to step outside there is no way to walk inside the hotel. There is a sign hanging with a phone number to call. However, when you call there is no signal and nothing happens. I was stuck outside because I needed to step out for a fresh air and could not come in back. Luckily, someone walked out and I was able to get inside. There are no magnetic keys. They give you an old fashion key for the room, but not for the lobby entrance. There was no fridge and the bed was not. Eye comfortable and very small. Breakfast was delicious and very good.

The hotel felt and looked like an old school dormitory. There was definitely a shortage of outlets in the room (I found only one) and the decor and furnishings were 80's college dorm room.

Ok for price. Basic hotel but clean and quiet. Our room was large with an upstairs. Some floors are harder to access with suitcase as the lifts don’t go to the 1/2 floors but it’s not impossible. You will need a sleep mask in the summer as the curtains do not block out light

The property is an out-of-season boarding school/dormitory. We stayed in a 3-person family style room. Breakfast is very expensive. Staff is friendly and helpful.

We had a double story room that was very spacious. It is a school in the winter and a hotel in the summer so it is very well equipped and spacious. Our room was clean and roomy and the hotel itself was immaculate. It’s in a great location with lots to do nearby. Staff greeted us upon arrival and when screeching out and were very friendly.

This is a good hotel that other than in the summer, is a dorm for the nearby junior college. Thus every room is set up like a dorm with desks, beds and lots of storage space. We had a triple room which was two levels, which is cool, but the upper level which had the double bed, was accessed with only a very narrow spiral staircase. Bathroom was on the first floor of the room. Since it is a dorm there were several nice public places on each floor with couches etc. Breakfast was very good. The lead picture for the hotel is for the city pool, which is across the street.

Not the best place to stay, the building in general has a smell…. Seems that used to be an hospital or maybe a senior care facility. Bathroom wasn’t great, not very clean I won’t recommend it if you have other options

It's a dated hotel. Room was not very clean and we can see dust everywhere. Hotel did not provide any toiletries. Pictures are misleading. Expedia pictures shows a pool, however there are no pools in this hotel. Also, rooms are not as nice as in these pictures.

The drawbacks of this hotel have been well documented in other reviews. It is not the kind of place where you would want to spend a week, being quite Spartan, but if , like me, you want a cheap place for a good nights sleep it is perfectly adequate. Easily walkable from the airport along a flat tarmaced path, so save yourself the taxi fare.
