A throwback small hotel that is in pretty good shape. Large room, comfy bed, and staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. However, other guests were loud, and the walls were (as with older hotels) thin. Combined with the fact you could hear doors closing several rooms away, made for a long night.
