Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Staff was great. The room was clean and location is close to public transportation should you decide to take it.
Overall the stay at this hotel was better than I expected. Check in was quick and easy, we received a complimentary wine which was really nice. The room was cleaned and they gave us all the amenities that we needed. They had breakfast which was really good.
Nice place and breakfast was excellent. I only gave 4 stars on my Comfort review because they had the smallest toilet I've ever uses. My junk actually touched the front of the bowl on the inside. Very weird. And it didn't flush well.
Room was extremely outdated- to the point that it felt unclean. There was a lot of space in the room, and beds were comfortable. Besides that, would not recommend spending much time in your room! Old, stale smell of cigarettes was a problem. Carpets and furniture very old. Pool and hot tub were closed.

No water supply and any one can enter the premises... which makes unsafe for the travellers. Expecting money for all mandatory small works.
