5 / 10·Sep 2026
Basic but comfortable room. convenient location.
Very overpriced with different prices for same room on consecutive nights. - $187 and $228 - both way above what worth and what have paid in the past. Staff's answer was daily prices vary according to occupancy and high price blamed on Bookings.com - told could have got much better price from hotel.
