The place is stinky. I am not sure if the stink is from mould or not. I had no electricity in my room and few other rooms for a major portion of the evening and night. Staff did not care. The restaurant staff was unorofessional and did not know how to greet a customer.

Will stay again

I’ve stayed here many times while in town for business. I prefer the annex rooms as it seems quieter at night. Maybe a bit more attention to cleaning in the corners and behind the desks and sofas is needed. But it is still a great place to stay. Good food too.
