“There's ample parking and the staff presents a friendly face; inside, the beds aim for comfort, complemented by in-room mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers, which is a plus for convenience. However, a few reports mention serious issues with cleanliness and overbooking; these are concerns that could significantly impact a stay. It's a mixed bag that warrants careful consideration.”
