“The central location is a definite advantage, and past visitors have appreciated the breakfast and cleanliness. However, some have noted the rooms can feel quite small, and recent reports suggest a reduction in services. For budget-conscious travellers who prioritize location, it may still hold appeal, but with tempered expectations.”
