Review Score:   6
Summary: The room is very small but we were expecting that. The water took a long time to get warm/hot. The hotel is a bit noisy, but we brought earplugs. They advertised that they served breakfast but there was no breakfast offered. Luckily there are plenty of good food options nearby. It's a decent place to stay if you're not planning on spending any time at the hotel except to sleep.
