We were made very welcome, it is run-down but has lots of character and potential.
I felt it was very poorly presented and maintained and the whole atmosphere was not a nice feel.. The young lady who greeted me was very nice, but not her fault re the condition of the property
The property is in need of a total renovation. Verything is old.

Pretty nice overall. Lovely front desk guy, felt safe at the hotel. Just had trouble with being able to lock our door which was a little scary.

Very reasonable cost for a comfortable stay, but may not suit others used to luxury accommodation. Would be great to see the hotel restored to former glory.
