5.0/10

The hotel has a great location, giving easy access to nearby attractions. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, with unfriendly staff and numerous issues during my stay. The cleanliness was a major concern, particularly in the bathrooms. Overall, while the location is a plus, the overall experience was disappointing and doesn't feel like good value for money.

The room was uncomfortably hot with no way to adjust the temperature. I had to leave the window open, which didn't help at all.

The location is the biggest plus of the hotel, but aside from that, it was a pretty disappointing experience. While I appreciated the free access to the adjacent facility, the overall service was lacking, and many amenities were either missing or didn't work. It’s not worth the price, especially given the state of the rooms and the cleanliness issues.

7.4/10

The location of this place is definitely its best feature, as it's adjacent to the YMCA and easy to access. Unfortunately, everything else fell short. From the staff's lack of friendliness to the state of the facilities, I struggled throughout my stay. The inability to have clean towels or adjust the room temperature was particularly frustrating, and it made my experience unpleasant.

The location is great because it's near the YMCA, but that’s about the only positive. Rating: 8

The best aspect of this hotel is definitely the location, and you can use the nearby YMCA facilities for free, which is a nice perk. Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with the service and amenities. I couldn’t access basic things like clean towels or working appliances, and the staff were quite unfriendly throughout my stay.

The hotel has a fantastic location, conveniently close to a YMCA, but my experience was marred by numerous inconveniences. The rooms lacked proper control over the temperature, and basic amenities were often unavailable. While parking was challenging, I found a decent spot nearby. Overall, it feels like the place needs significant improvement in service and maintenance.
