"Reasonably clean and comfortable for the price. But the hotel does show its age. There is minor damage here and there in some places. But the staff are friendly and the hotel was convenient to my event. There is no elevator so if you require a first floor room I would advise to call the front desk before booking to see if they would have rooms for the date, you need"
