The building needs to be renovated from the inside, it felt and looked very old. Our room was next to the steps and it was noisy and there was were weird stains on the bathroom wall and we couldn't close the window because there was a weird smell. One good thing was there was free parking

Worst hotel in 25yrs of working
Freezing cold (heating turned off)
Noisy staff though out the early hours
Staff burning cardboard boxers in carpark
Felt the unsafe
Out of 25yrs working away from home this place has to be the second worst place I’ve stayed !

There was no heating in the room. Tried checking radiator but nothing worked. There was no one at reception and no one attended calls. Really disappointed. I had to sleep in cold all night which is terrible in such severe weather .

Thank you
It was a good short visit , the best thing of the hotel is location. I am extremely thankful to one of the staff members ( dont know the name ; but she was cleaning the room and dining area in afternoon), she has such a good heart, guided me, helped with phone charger, told me how to get around the city. Invited me inside to sit down in warmth while waiting for check in as i was early. God bless you always! And thank you. I left the charger point at front desk and a thnk you note, hopefully you received it.all the stars i gave are for her. Thank you for your kindness

One small issue was sorted out without delay and other that noisey neighbours one day who shared their arguements, conversation and sex exploits with the whole top floor my stay was brilliant!

The property is okay, good location, bus stop right in front of the hotel (8 stops for the center of the city).
The bedroom was simple, need a better maintenance of the building and bedroom (There was a 5" hole behind the toilet with pipes exposed).
No AC, no mini bar and no ice maker.

Convenient location
This place was exactly what we were looking for with a grocery store nearby and a bus stop directly in front. It was clean and comfortable and was exactly as described. The lack of AC was the only issue. Although the window was sufficient to let in cool air, it faces a very busy street which made for very early wake ups. Would stay here again.

Lovely hotel and staff welcoming. Rooms are a good size. Lovely and quiet and beds are comfortable. The only downside is that the hallways are narrow and it’s difficult getting through the doors to room. This would be awkward if you had suitcases with you. Also, the hotel doesn’t provide breakfast which doesn’t make sense when it is called a hotel. I stayed for one night as went to Military Tattoo Festival.
