Decent stay overall

decent size mini lounge area clean premises poor service parking problem sewage smell

The room was a decent size. The mini lounge area was A NICE little bonus. The location was also convenient for accessing nearby attractions. I found the premises to be clean.

Customer service was poor. Information on how to unlock the door and codes was done via ft. I thought that was unprofessional. Free parking is A problem. The bathroom had a sewage smell once you opened the door.

adequate but underwhelming

sewage odor poor shower

The bathroom emitted a noticeable sewage odor after opening the toilet door (i found this quite off-putting). the shower pressure was inadequate. Water trickled out rather than flowed. i think a deeper clean and shower maintenance are needed.
