8/10 Good
"I have stayed here before numerous times over the last 20 years. The rooms and punkic spaces are always clean. The rooms arent big but thats not a problem. Parking is good and plenty of it, the staff were really helpful and pleasant at all times. The breakfast in the morning was good, just what you would expect from a hotel buffet breakfast. The only issue I have are the mattresses in the rooms, wow..... really are the worst I have ever slept on in a hotel. I dont remember them ever been that bad. They were so firm and hard, I didnt get a good sleep. But other than that....I had a good stay and enjoyed how clean it was."
