"I would definitely stay here again for a quick trip."

10.0

The property was very clean and well maintained. Our room was very clean and in great condition. The bed was comfortable too.

The walls are thin so we heard a lot of noise from other guests and street traffic. We were only there for one night so not a big problem.
