Nice stay. Only one thing that could be improved: to have more chairs, tables and more food for breakfast. We came down at 9:00am on Sunday for breakfast and everything was empty. The breakfast should last to 10:00am for the weekend.

The Hotel itself was fine. It was not the newest around, but it was clean and looked nice. However, directly across from the hotel is a lounge and bar. The music was so loud that I could not sleep. We were on the third floor and the windows seemed to rattle. The bar was open until 3 AM. That is when it finally stopped. If you are a light sleeper, I would not recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for three nights, and it was a horrible experience. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, the bathroom was filthy, and everything—from the room to the hotel itself—was DUSTY. I requested a different room immediately upon check-in due to the smell, but they claimed none were available. They promised to move us the next day, but that never happened. The towels were stained, and the elevator smelled like raw onions and sewage. We didn’t even bother trying the breakfast—who would want to eat at such a dirty hotel? Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to stay somewhere better. Zero stars!
