Basic basic. No frills we don't want, need, or use. Just a pleasant check-in; pleasant, clean room; and enough space to move around without bumping into unnecessary furniture. A good night's sleep.

Good value

This is an older hotel and I knew that when I booked 2 rooms for my sisters and myself. The rooms were clean and sufficiently stocked with towels, soap, cups, etc. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were thin and soft but I'm very particular about my pillow so I brought my own. If possible, I always bring my own pillow because I like one that is quite firm. If I'm in the area again, I would most definitely stay here again.

Like all the other reviews say, the property is little dated, but it is an excellent place to stay for the night, bed sheets were nice and clean, the place is smack dead in the middle of town. Location is perfect. Staff was friendly. Easy check-in and easy checkout. Would definitely stay again.

Mostly good. Quick check in. Air Conditioning and fridge worked good. Beds comfy enough. Adequate floor space. A few bugs flying around. Beds made clunky noises when moving. Toilet flush switch was loose and hard to flush. The table next to the bed had large food stain that i had to wash off on arrival.

When you pay extra for a 3rd person why dont you have towels enough for 3? I had to go get more for our use. No elevator. Room interior repairs were poor quality. Painting, walls with damage, toilet seat needs replaced.
