+

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance — While some guests found rooms clean, others reported dirty bathrooms, broken showers, malfunctioning TVs, and even roaches, suggesting upkeep varies between rooms.
- Potential for noise — One guest mentioned occasional noise in the room, which could be a concern for light sleepers despite the generally quiet atmosphere noted by others.
- Modest value for the price — With a value rating of 6 and several guests pointing out issues like a lack of fridge in some rooms, the price-to-condition ratio may not satisfy everyone.
