8/10 Good
"I have stayed here multiple times, the breakfast is better prepared than other BW hotels, the staff is nice, and the rooms are clean. My only qualm this stay is that the mattress was on a metal frame with springs that made sounds every time I moved on my bed. Besides that, the mattress was still comfortable and I will stay here again."
