The hotel facilities are quite outdated and in need of significant renovations. The rooms, however, are spacious, clean, and feature comfortable beds. One issue is the absence of air conditioning, which can be problematic. Although the hotel's central location in town is convenient, it is situated next to a park that hosted a noisy event with loud music for most of the day on Saturday.

Stay was fine overall but what we don't get is why the staff ask multiple times if everything is okay (and then do exactly nothing about any of it). Hot water was out one morning and took all day for them to fix with no explanation.
