Very nice hotel, however property was surprisingly dirty on close inspection. Mold in bathroom for example, damaged furniture. While staying here i became very ill, however staff were very accomodating and area around hotel is very ideal. Lots of tourist areas and very walkable. Main issue was cleanliness of the room.

The hotel feels quite old and could use some updates. Be aware that the staff does not assist with luggage, which might be inconvenient for some travelers. Additionally, the humidifier in the room had mold, and overall cleanliness could be improved.
