As everyone says, it is an older hotel, which has its plusses and minuses. They have nice art around the hotel and in the rooms. Lots of real wood items unlike in newer hotels. On the other hand, the maintenance needs much improvement. More cleaning is needed of some of the art items which are showing signs of mold. The management and staff are not at the level of top hotels. Looks like they havent really had any hospitality training. This one guy managing the reception desk was abrasive and had no place being in that position. Breakfast was good. If they put some money into refurbishment and improved cleaning, this could be a top hotel once again.

Staff extremely hospitable and courteous. Complimentary morning breakfast was pleasing. WiFi was choppy and not reliable. Out of 12 day stay, internet was out for a full day, and quite disappointing and inconvenient.

The front lobby ambience was good. Other than that things are out dated and not as per the standards of a 4 star hotel. Restaurant facilities need to enhanced further. Room ambience is quite old fashioned and needs a ton of improvement. Mosquitoes issue in rooms.
