Past guest experiences and opinions

James

United States, June 2024

6.0/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, near the concert venue I was attending, but the area felt less than safe. The rooms were not up to our standards, with electricity problems and cleanliness issues. The service was unhelpful and even led to wanting the police called. The dining experience was hit or miss, but I did enjoy a mouth-watering Hungarian beef stew. The facilities had some issues as well, but the price was reasonable.
