Disliked: Amenities
The hotel room we had was definitely dated. Dirty and worn carpet and curtains. Stained toilets and tubs. The TV did not work and when asked for assistance we were told “it’s because of the style of the TV it’s not a smart TV”. However, smart tv or not there should be sound. There were other rooms that were renovated but unfortunately we did not get one. The included breakfast was okay and the location ( proximity to places we wanted to go ) was nice. I wouldn’t return or recommend this hotel.

Breakfast was good and the rooms are clean. It’s quite a distance from the pickup zones of many tour companies, but if you book with the company advertised at the lobby, you’ll have a good time. There’s an initial disappointment when you arrive at the hotel. The pictures you expect might be a far cry from what you see. The hotel looks fatigued and a bit ancient. Those who crave the feel of the 1960s might appreciate it. Perhaps, the hotel should rebrand as such.
