"The hotel was very stately inside and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are a little older - there was dirt around the AC duct and staining on the wall below. The room was quite warm and the thermostat was locked down so we couldn’t turn on the AC. We did pop the windows , so in the end we had a comfy sleep :)."
