The hotel is pretty average overall. It’s definitely outdated and could use some improvements, especially when it comes to the mattresses and small details like the shower curtain, which was worn out. That being said, I think you mostly pay for the location which is a big plus , it’s within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and everything you might need

Staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel was extra run down and dirty. We requested a room with fridge and microwave and they delivered a dirty microwave. Over priced for age and cleanliness. Only plus was covered parking.
