The room was clean and nicely appointed. The man at the front desk was very kind during check in. Unfortunately, the air conditioner didn’t work and the walls were very thin. We had neighbours who kept us up all night :(

This hotel is in need of a renovation. It's very dated and uncomfortable. The room had an awful smell. Lacked amenities. Would not stay there again. Pay the money and stay somewhere else.
