This hotel experience was highly disappointing. We booked what was advertised as a family room, but it felt cramped with a double bed and bunks pushed into a small space. While the sheets were clean, the room itself had a noticeable odor, and I even found a dirty sheet from a previous guest wedged beside the bed. Noise was an issue as we were awakened by a commotion in the middle of the night. The overall experience did not meet my expectations at all.

My stay was quite disappointing. The family room felt cramped and uncomfortable, with a dirty sheet left from a previous guest. Although the sheets were clean, the room itself was smelly and noisy. The disturbance in the middle of the night from a fight outside made it even worse. I definitely don't recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant experience.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The family room was cramped and uncomfortable, and I struggled to sleep on the overly soft bed. While the sheets were clean, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. On top of that, we experienced loud disturbances at night, which made for a frustrating stay. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this hotel based on my experience.

I had a really disappointing stay at this hotel. The family room felt cramped with a double bed and bunks crammed in together, and the mattress was so soft that I couldn't sleep properly. The overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, as I found dirty bedding from a previous guest. To top it off, we were disturbed in the middle of the night by a fight outside the hotel. It's really not worth it.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. The family room we booked felt cramped and the mattress was way too soft, making sleep difficult. While the sheets were clean, the overall cleanliness of the room was not up to par, with a lingering smell and leftover dirty bedding from a previous guest. To make matters worse, we were disturbed in the middle of the night by loud noises from a fight outside. Definitely not the peaceful stay we were hoping for.
