    Outstanding

    Our room didn’t have lights? Only lamps, which made it quite hard to see. Otherwise, everything was as expected.

      Very Good

      The hotel is in a great location! Close to main attractions and lots of restaurants! Main staff was not very friendly. Hotel is beautiful when you enter. Rooms are very old and need updating. The toilet in my bathroom had a corroded tank and a broken lever. That was a bit frustrating. Bed was very hard!! Room was very cold! Only one thermostat for the entire hotel. There is no individual thermostat in each room. Had to ask for extra blankets. They did provide that for me. The fitness room is very nice! Every thing you need to have a really good workout! They indicated they are in the process of renovating rooms. They’ve just not completed that project yet. I would stay there again if the price was right. Hopefully next time I’ll get an updated room!

        Excellent

        Close to the center. Clean. The only problem was the hot water. You need to wait a lot of time to have it, but then it's very hot.
