8/10 Good
"Overall I liked my stay here, the staff was helpful and receptive. I enjoyed the breakfast options. However, it started out on a bad note due to cleanliness of my first room which was stuffy and smelled like someone smoked, with a sticky night table. Second room assignment had an obvious drain issue with the stopper pulled out and a plunger in the shower. The third room was fine and I was glad of that because it was a long day traveling to Berlin. I would stay here again because of its location, breakfast and nice staff."
