My stay had its ups and downs. The hotel had a confusing check-in process located in a bar, which wasn't ideal for families, and the room lacked warmth and comfort. However, it was clean overall and had a few family-friendly conveniences. The location was convenient, close to shops, but not perfectly quiet due to constant traffic. I wouldn't recommend it for a lengthy family stay but might work as a cheap stopover.

6.8/10

Overall, my stay at the hotel was decent for a budget option. The location was quite convenient, close to shops and other facilities. The service was pretty helpful, accommodating our needs as a family. However, the check-in process was odd, happening at a bar, which felt uncomfortable, especially with kids. The room was underwhelming and poorly lit, making it feel less inviting. Still, for a quick stopover, it served its purpose.

7.6/10

I had an unexpected stay at this hotel, which turned out to be decent for budget accommodation. The family room was spacious and had a shared bathroom just across the hallway, making it convenient. However, I did notice some maintenance issues like a sink that was coming off the wall and unclean curtains, which detracted from the overall experience. The noise from the sports bar downstairs was minimal, but the neon sign outside my window was a bit distracting at night.

This hotel serves as a decent budget-friendly option, especially for short stays, but it lacks some key features that would make a family visit more comfortable. The cleanliness and helpful staff are certainly highlights, but the check-in process and room amenities left much to be desired. If you're just looking for a place to crash, it could work, but families might want to consider other options.
