Donna, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not my type of hotel

We just spent 1 night here, the breakfast was scarce, the milk was frozen (my kids weren't able to have milk in their cereal). We were just looking to spend the night, so it met its purpose, but it is not a place where I'd stay again, or longer.
Deny Magos, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay, given the affordability. The check-in was a tad concerning when the clerk seemed to have trouble finding our reservation but eventually it was located. The room was nicer than expected. Cool, clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency back home and they were very sympathetic. We were grateful and would return without question.
