Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were modern and nicely decorated, but cleanliness was an issue with spiders, webs, and dated furniture. The staff were friendly, but some areas felt out of control. The location was convenient for local attractions but had some drawbacks, and the dining experience, although decent, had room for improvement in serving breakfast.
The hotel is going through some decorating and building works outside, but the suite I stayed in was quite basic. The staff were friendly and almost sheepish looking, providing efficient and good service. The rooms are nice and big, offering a comfortable and well-appointed experience overall.
The hotel was a mix of old charm and modern beauty. The rooms, spacious and with comfortable beds, were clean, and the staff was very good. However, the aging aspects were noticeable, unchanged since my last visit 30 years ago.
