My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience. The rooms, although with almost no lighting and unpleasant smell, had extremely clean bedding, good pillows, and spacious bathrooms, which was great for a one-night stay in the city.

The rooms had almost no lighting, nasty peeling wallpaper, windows facing the interior lobby, and a bad smell, but the bedding was extremely clean, pillows were good, and the bathrooms were large.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, while clean, could use some major updates, but they were still comfortable enough. The service was friendly, even though there were some minor issues. The location, though convenient, seemed a little sketchy. The dining experience had its ups and downs. Overall, an okay stay with room for improvement.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and well stocked with toiletries, coffee, and tea, which was a nice touch. The service I received from the staff, especially in guiding us to local attractions, was exceptionally helpful. However, the location had some safety concerns due to a high homeless population, which was a downside. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, but there were some inconsistencies in the breakfast offerings. Overall, it was a decent stay with its ups and downs.
