Ideal Location and Spacious Rooms

convenient location wide room excellent service strong pressure

I appreciated the location near food and shopping options. The rooms are big and wide creating a comfortable environment. I noticed the toilet water pressure in room 446 is strong it's almost like a water jet. The admin staff provided excellent service both during the day and at night.

I noticed a slight issue the hotel is a bit older with some marginal electric and plumbing needing updates
