The hotel offers a comfortable and inviting stay, with beautiful furniture and a well-designed bathroom that add to its charm. While the rooms are already appealing, they could benefit from some regular preventative maintenance to maintain their top-notch quality. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious, making for a delightful experience.

Nice hotel but could improve

I've stayed here at least 4 times in recent years. The staff is always friendly. The breakfast is outstanding. The wifi simply didn't work in the lobby or room, even after asking assistance, it still would not work. The bed is not comfortable but he area is nice and staff always helpful.

I would not stay here in the future. Although the hotel is very old, the rooms were not terrible. The shower floods the bathroom floor and you have to walk on puddle after getting out of the shower. The WiFi is terrible. You have to go downstairs and get a three day vouchers. You have to get the vouchers every three days which is really inconvenient. The food is terrible. Service at the restaurant at breakfast time is good but other times you have to chase the employees to pay for your food. Room cleaning service was very good. Front staff is hit or miss, depends which employee is working. Finally, use the elevator with caution. I was stuck in the middle elevator for what seemed like 3 minutes. After that incident I used the stairs from the seventh floor.
