The Good
Overall, comments about this hotel were mixed in the reviews used for this analysis.
more Some reviewers found their rooms to be basic but clean and were satisfied with that. There were many comments that the hotel location was ideal for sightseeing. Many reviewers found it easy to get around the city on foot or by metro. One reviewer commented that, "we just wanted a cheap room close to where we wanted to be, which is exactly what we got."
There were a few comments that the staff were friendly, and that check-in was quick and efficient. Some reviewers appreciated the free Wi-Fi and $12/day indoor parking.
The Bad
While there were some comments that the rooms were basic but clean, there were more comments that they were old and poorly kept. Many reviewers found the beds hard and felt housekeeping was not thorough or consistent enough in their cleaning. Some reviewers commented that they could not control the temperature in their rooms, that the walls were paper thin, and that noise and the smell of smoke carried into their rooms.
As well, while there were some comments that the staff at this hotel were friendly, they were outweighed by many comments claiming the opposite — that staff were not friendly or helpful.
There were also some comments that the free breakfast was insufficient and consisted only of a croissant and juice.
