The hotel is a decent choice for those on a budget, with a central location and ample parking. The rooms are spacious but show signs of aging, and the dining options are limited to vegetarian fare. While there are some cleanliness issues, the staff's service is quick, making check-in and check-out smooth. It's not the most luxurious stay, but it gets the job done.
