Comfortable bed and clean room. WiFi wasn’t very good in my room, but at least I only stayed 1 night, it would’ve been a problem if I would’ve stayed longer than that.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (5,277 reviews)
The room was clean and some staff members were helpful. However the second floor had a strong smell (possibly mold)? Breakfast was ok. The floors in our room were not cleaned (dirty socks and feet) the day we got there. They also did not clean our room while we stayed even after we asked.
