Adequate for a night or two
Pros:

Writing this review very late stayed mid march. The place is quite old and out dated but clean and reasonably comfortable for the price. A good spot to spend a night or two.

Cons:

The property didn’t have a working card machine so I had to go and take cash out to pay with as I couldn’t transfer from my Uk bank account.

Do not stay here
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This was quite possibly one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I have never written a review on here before but I am so shocked by the other reviews that I had to chime in. This place was dirty and falling apart. There was a gross red chunk on the comforter, the bottom of the bathroom door was rotting and peeling off, the caulking around the sink was moldy, the faucet was barely holding on to the sink, the ceiling had a huge weird gap between it and the wall. People were slamming doors all night. It was not good at all. I really do not understand the good reviews of this hotel but they seriously led me astray :-( I’m upset that I had to pay for this room
