“The property's ongoing renovations suggest a commitment to improvement, though some rooms may still show signs of needed updates; location is undeniably a strong point. A few past guests mentioned issues with cleanliness and worn furnishings, so inquire about recent upgrades before booking; I think travelers seeking a no-frills stay in a convenient spot will find it adequate.”
