"Due to construction it's difficult to reach the location. Problem with parking near the site I had a reservation, but never stayed. It was too difficult for me to park my car and access the site. .."

Hotel Europa, BW Signature Collection
"The room swelled very strong of bleach. Someone got stuck in the elevator. The room was noisy with a humming sound. No parking on site, have to walk about a block. Not great at night. Lots of strip clubs around and a “VIP massage” a few feet down. Overall, pretty disappointed."
