The hotel rooms were good in temperature, making it easy to stay in on a rainy day. They were not as clean as expected and slightly small, but still suitable for a couple. The service was slow but accommodating and incredibly helpful and attentive, especially when dealing with the bed and shower. The location was nice and quiet, albeit a bit of a walk to the center. The dining experience was overpriced but the restaurant offered very good dishes. The facilities were decent with transportation close by.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms, despite a strong cigarette smoke smell and being a bit small, offer some level of comfort.
