I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While cleanliness was a priority, it felt overly strict about certain policies, like having to remove shoes in the lobby and the limited number of ironing boards was frustrating. The parking situation was concerning as I found scratches on my car in the morning. Overall, the stay was decent, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had some mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While it was very clean and the rooms were nice, I really didn't like having to take off my shoes or slippers in the lobby. They only had one iron and board, which made it difficult when I needed to iron my clothes. The parking area left me worried; I found scratches on my car in the morning, which just isn't ideal.

I found this hotel to be quite strict with its cleanliness policies, which included having to remove my shoes in the lobby – not the most convenient. While the rooms felt safe enough, parking was a bit concerning as I noticed scratches on my car in the morning. The ironing situation was also frustrating, as there was only one iron and board available. Overall, it felt more choosy than I expected for the price paid.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, it was a very clean place, but I found the rules about footwear in the lobby a bit excessive. I struggled with the services as there was only one iron and board, which made ironing clothes inconvenient. Additionally, the parking situation felt unsafe since my car ended up with scratches overnight, which was disappointing.
