The hotel offers a self-contained apartment for a reasonable price, but the cleanliness standards were disappointing, with issues like unclean plug holes and shower grime. The lack of proper air circulation in the rooms made the stay uncomfortable.

The hotel rooms were uncomfortably hot and rough; the lifts were slow to open, and there was noise from nearby construction and the freeway. However, the staff was easy to deal with. The location was good for attractions but had noise issues and safety concerns. The dining experience was just okay, and the overall cleanliness needs improvement.
