9.2/10 Wonderful! (592 reviews)
"The property is well maintained and clean. Staff also good. Location is convenient. Even though they have a gym, it’s far from good. The breakfast has a good variety but lacks in quality a bit. Good shower pressure and comfortable bed. Overall, a good alternative for the price point."
