Many lodgers complimented the hotel's staff, characterizing them as friendly, accommodating and attentive.

Although the majority of reviewers were pleased with their clean and well-equipped accommodations, a few guests complained about their rooms. They reported dated decor, old TVs, worn bathrooms, musty odours and noise transfer from guests in adjacent rooms.
