It was an old building with worn-out furniture. The toilet was dirty, and the mattress was old and unclean. The service and staff behavior were good, though. I think the place was expensive for what it offered. The hot water worked well.

Decent place to spend the night.

A pretty good room for the night given what I had paid. The bed creaked a lot, but I didn't sleep badly on it. Room was a good size, check in was easy and the location was good.
