good breakfast menu with hot dishes selection that were excellent. No a/c made the rooms a bit stuffy, and there's no elevator, but otherwise all was great. Nice big rooms and a good location! Everyone on staff was very friendly.

It’s a nice enough hotel in a very convenient area. The rooms were satisfactory with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom to go along with it, the staff were friendly and helpful!! The breakfast was the only negative side of this hotel, wasn’t the best standard and for the price of it there wasn’t much options… other than that it was an enjoyable stay!
