Rooms look better than in reality. The hotel seems to have focussed their refurbishment on the reception area than the rooms. No hot water on the first night, low water pressure throughout the stay. Room smells of smoke and the noisiest air conditioning unit. Top it off the Managers were unresponsive and incompetent. General Manager and other staff were fine and helpful.
