Hotel St. Lauren

8/10 Good
"The front office lady (don’t know her name) was extremely accommodating. The property is old and dated and needs a refurbishing. The WiFi connection was horrible and kept going in and out. It needs to be upgraded. I stayed in room 607 and the toilet seemed unsteady. Someone should take a look at it. The AC is extremely noisy. I liked the location."
