The carpet was riddled with stains, the room smelled musty, the bathroom toilet lid had permanent scratches that made it feel dirty, the walls were marked with stains and scratches, the ceiling was damaged, and there were termites or flying ants inside near windows. Again, staff was so kind. ##### Celeste Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Hotel Great hotel, traditonally decorated room but comfortable and spacious.
