Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Guests Are Saying?

Dan

United States, January 2024

7.6/10

The hotel had a nice balance of positives and negatives. The rooms, though dark during remodeling, were spacious with standard amenities like a work table, closet with iron, and a flat screen TV. The service stood out for its friendliness and helpfulness, with staff even holding onto keys for an extended period. The location, while a bit tricky to find, was convenient for the WBA Championships Competition. On the downside, the dining experience was subpar with microwaved breakfast items. Overall, a mixed but decent stay.
