Rooms were spacious, bjt not as clean in the corners. Tap water was light brown during first use. Breakfast was not good. Beds were comfy and location and staff were great
Maid service was great, and even called when decide to pass one day on cleaning. Food selecton for breakfast was good, scrambled eegs, breads, fruits etc.For me it was location near fastfoods, ( across street and on right side of Mc Don, Chicken, and Coral, simikar to Burgerking. And of course Buffalo grill 5 blocks away for steak and cocktails for 6.00.
Great location. Within walking distance of several restaurants and shops.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
The cost was very cheap for such a great locatio. I'd definitely stay here again.
