Maria, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Rooms were clean, very little insulation so could hear everything and everyone in the vacinity. There was a family that was having an argument, yelling and screaming around 9ish and you could hear all the drama. Didn't seem like there was enough staff as there wasn't anyone at the front desk for longer than needed to check a person in.
Cheysser, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel room appliances were a bit dated, but otherwise was a clean and pleasant experience. Very well priced. Overall glad with how it turned out.
