This hotel is very old and everything seems original and in need or being renovated. That said, the room was clean enough. The bed comfortable and was well located to where we needed to be. I didnt want to spend a lot of money for a one night stay to attend a party, so understand you get what you pay for.

Not recommended. Spent the night here before our cruise and was very disappointed. Dead bugs in the bed, old food under the sheets and very outdated. Shower was very scummy and needed a good scrub.

This was a bad experience, plain and simple. The bathroom had two decent size holes in the wall, the hot water faucet was held to the wall with electrical tape, they asked me at the desk if I wanted a refrigerator (huh?), I ofcourse said yes, and then proceeded to be given a room with no refrigerator. The place was not worth the money I paid. Had to be there for a funeral, and this experience at this hotel did not make me feel comfortable at all.

Clean room . Only issue air conditioning did not get cold and took a long time to get comfortable temperature. Curtains to window did not close completely so I had to use a hair clip to close properly so u can’t see inside the room . Received the smallest bar of soap for shower. It was good for just overnight stay . Very old room and I think overpriced for the hotel. Breakfast was family friendly. Only mini muffins and cereal etc. they need to upgrade breakfast for the price of hotel charge .
