Unfortunate the rooms do not have window screens as it was very hot that evening and so could not leave window open due to no screen and so many mosquitos etc. Street facing room quite loud late into the night with traffic passing close. Unfortunately the guest across the hall was in and out of the room every 10-15 mins from midnight until near 3am and their door slammed every time. The hotel should do proper maintenance to make sure all room doors close soft. Great service on arrival, easy free parking and decent quality restaurant with fair pricing,.

Shower hot water doesn't work

I never seen such thing in my life!!! I was having a shower when the hot water stopped. I was told by the guy at the front desk that happened because,maybe, another guest was having a shower, that affected my shower. In other words, the guests should make an agreement about having shower before going under it.
