7.4/10 Good! (366 reviews)
The property had both free and paid parking which was a bit odd. As we had larger vehicles we felt it safer to park in the paid parking lot rather than on the spots directly off the street which we may have stuck out of a little ($5 a night). Simple rooms with decent beds and all the necessities ...

room is clean. However, due to the thin wall and old building, there were lots of noises from up/down and sides. The building is old. Unfortunately, it is not worth to pay the cost. It was number one hotel in Saga. Breakfast was ok.
