I was initially concerned after reading some reviews, however my time at the hotel was great. Everything was close by. The room was comfortable and affordable. Staff were pleasant. Some visitors were a bit noisy during the night, but mainly just saying goodnight before heading to their rooms, which was bearable. Would definitely stay here again.
