It was okay
Pros:

The staff was accommodating and welcoming

Cons:

The carpets reek😭😩oh my poor husband’s sinuses were up the roof. When you enter you are consumed by the smell of the carpets. They definitely need a deep clean or change them completely. It was a mouldy smell in the hallways, rooms and stairs. The doors need fixing. We had trouble turning on the hot water. The place is in a great location but needs a lot of renovations

It was far from everything
Pros:

In terms of Breaksfast, everything was fine beside tea, they only offer one mini cup of tea and from there you should pay for re-fill.

Cons:

Their rooms were specious, and clean.
