Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a budget-friendly option if you're looking for a quick stay before a cruise, but the location is quite sketchy, and the bed firmness leaves much to be desired. While the room was clean and had some modern updates, the overall experience was marred by the uncomfortable bed and the unsettling neighborhood. The service was helpful, but caution is advised if you choose to explore the area at night.
If you're on a budget, this hotel could be a suitable choice, but be prepared for a few drawbacks. While the rooms are clean and renovated, the location feels a bit unsafe with a hard bed that makes sleeping difficult. The continental breakfast is simple but adequate, making for a decent start to the day if you can overlook its surroundings.
I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the room was spotless and had charm due to its historic nature, the location felt unsafe due to the surrounding area. The bed, however, was incredibly hard, making it uncomfortable to sleep. The breakfast offered was basic but decent for a budget hotel.
