Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very outdated, but the bathroom was newly remodeled and quite spacious. The service was good at all times, and the housekeeping was efficient. The location was in the heart of downtown, making it convenient, but the facilities were lacking. The dining options were limited to pastries. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is located in the heart of downtown, making it convenient to access all places in town, close to everything including restaurants and attractions. The rooms, though very outdated, had a large size with an updated bathroom. The service at all times was excellent, and housekeeping was top-notch. The dining experience offered gourmet pizzas, and the facilities were well-maintained. However, the price may not fully reflect the overall value for money.
