Julie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bed was very comfortable, but the room was very small and so was the bathroom. Also, the fact that food wasn't available in the hotel is inconvenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, though. It would be a good place to stay for people who don't mind very basic hotel accommodations.
