We had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent, providing a good base during our visit, but the rooms left much to be desired. While the staff tried their best to assist us, some issues with cleanliness and maintenance seriously affected our stay. On the upside, the price was very reasonable given the overall condition of the place.

The room was in need of serious maintenance; we had a king suite, but it was poorly lit and had several broken fixtures. The bathroom was particularly problematic with minimal space and an aging air conditioning unit that barely worked.

While the facilities were limited, the courtyard had some charm with outdoor seating and sculptures. However, the overall condition of our suite overshadowed this.
