How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The facility feels dated, but the room was clean, comfortable, and very affordable. I stay here often and will return. The downside is the late‑night check‑in: the office is often empty after dark, so you have to call the staff.

I stayed one night. The room was spacious and clean, with a good bed and good Wi‑Fi. The price was reasonable.

Not much to say. We reserved a room with two beds, but we received only one small bed and the room was filthy. The on‑site manager was not accommodating at all, making it a bad stay.

The bed was comfortable and a friendly cat greeted us. The bathroom window was broken and didn’t lock, and the bathroom was dated and not clean. The flooring was broken and coming up, the carpet in the main room was stained, and there was no coffee for the machine. There were more permanent residents than guests, some of whom were noisy. No one checked us in in person; everything was done over the phone.

It’s an older property but well maintained. The room was clean and comfortable, and they still use actual keys. I called to let the desk know we’d check in after 8 PM, but we didn’t arrive until after 9 PM and the office was closed. When I called back, I was told the room key was already in the room. I guess they could have told us the room number and procedure when I called, so I wouldn’t have had to bother the lady.
