Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Reception—- staff not very helpful. Multiple steps with no ramp or elevator to get to the desk.. situated to the side of the hotel. Room— multiple steps with no elevator or helpful way to get to the room. Room— very cramped for 3 adults. In a lower level like half basement. Very spartan furnishing for the price charged ( 247 US$ ). Bathroom — sink was very small & cracked, it was partly being shadowed by the small very old fashioned glass shelf. The water stank of sulphur. The bathroom measured less than 3 feet in diameter & about 8 ft or so in length. No place to keep your toilet stuff. Horrible for the price charged, at best it did not merit over 50 $. Not over 2 star rating. Restaurant —- very poor food. Over 25$ for a small cup of soup with very poor taste. Breakfast — most items in bread section were clearly stale or day old or more. Never stay there again.

The room itself was adequate. The shower is a little slippery for older folks. Beds were comfortable and the double pillows were an added bonus. The main issue was the restaurant. It appeared that service in that restaurant differs depending on the color of one’s skin which was disappointing as it put a small damper on my mother’s dream trip.
