Reception staff were not helpful. The mattress was terrible and the room was noisy. The rooms are old and there is no attempt to try simple things to cover up some of what makes the place very dated. Not worth the price and not somewhere I will choose to stay again.

The room was clean and looked fine. The problem was with noises so you couldn’t sleep. You could hear traffic all night long. It was noisy. The heater/air conditioner made a constant ticking noise.
