You get what you pay for; nothing flash or overly lush but certainly comfortable enough, clean, and a decent amount of space in the room. They were conducting renovations at the time of my stay so the smell of paint was lingering in the air at times but it was a non issue and it didn't impact my stay at all. Staff were polite and friendly enough. Ultimately it's close to a main road, so there was a fair amount of street noise in the mornings and no double glazed windows so keep noise suppression in mind if you stay here, I just used my earphones to sleep. Plus being where it is the metro is a very short walk, there's bus stops right out front and plenty of food and supermarkets nearby. All in all, pretty good value.

Disliked: Cleanliness
In one room the bathroom had poor ventilation and thus looked to be growing mold on the ceiling. There was also some mold growth in the sink and a roach came out of shower drain. Room was in back of hotel/high floor and was quiet. Other room could hear a lot of outside noise/music. Rooms were small but nice other than mentioned above.

King deluxe room was tired looking and relatively small. Amenities lacking, no teaspoons no shower cap etc. Property is clean and very conveniently located. Staff is wonderful. Don’t try to sleep on Saturday nights as our room had no noise insulation and we only managed to catch some sleep after 4 am when the relentless yelling, car horn honking and general drunken party noises stopped. Bring earplugs or perhaps avoid Saturday nights.

Unusual bedroom

Room 201 was presented as upscale room and was large and roomy. Unusual design where lower edge of bed directly in front of sliding door to bathroom. Slide out of bed into bathroom. Staff, elevator, room all good.
