It's a fine 3 star hotel. It is what I expected. I only came here to sleep for one night. Bed was good. Amenities were good. The toilet and bathroom were small in my room. Overall, for a solo traveller, it's a fine hotel/motel. Don't expect a great hotel room.

The room was good for the price and in a good location. However the bed broke and I reported it. They did nothing about it. Told me it would be fixed and it wasn't. Had to rearrange the room to be able to sleep at all. It was a nice place, but the staff just didn't care at all.
