Fair hotel, a shadow of it’s former glory if you judge their foyer
Pros:

The location was what i needed. Friendliness of some of the staff was very warming given I stayed weekly since June.

Cons:

Aging hotel amenities that seems forgotten by management, toilet flushing system that’s difficult to operate to bedside lamps many not functioning as well as they should to AC’s that are more fans as they don’t get cool/ warm.

Lastly, management that’s out of reach with guest.

Fair but indeed a few of hostess that tried each time to be helpful and accommodating
Pros:

Value for money especially seeing that one had to use the facility from June - November 2025. The facility however needs a serious makeover , plumbing needs urgent attention, but just the general upkeep of what used to be the epitome of hospitality a few decades ago. Just small but impactful improvements around fittings, bedside lamps that many don’t work. Bath tubs with shower screens a total mess. You shower and there’s is a pool of water every time. AC many are just fans blowing the air , neither cold nor warm in chilly nights

Cons:

Poor upkeep of the facility, i used countless rooms throughout my stay from June to November and yet similar problems,
