The hotel is in a good location, and staff were generally helpful, however the hotel its self needs updating in regards to its rooms and amenities. Our room was like a sweat box with the fan making little to no difference. The window could barely open and even during the night a breeze was not circulating. Air con is a necessity in the summer months. Thank God we were only staying 1 night or would have moved hotels. Bathroom was not that clean and in need of a paint job. We had requested an extra fan but request was not fulfilled
