Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's central location, with several mentioning it was convenient for their needs and close to local attractions. Some guests also appreciated the spaciousness of certain rooms and the historical charm of the building. However, many reviews highlighted significant cleanliness issues, such as dirty rooms and bathrooms, and mentioned that the property is old and in need of renovation. Service was another area of concern, with reports of unhelpful or unfriendly staff, slow check-in, and lack of basic amenities. While a few guests felt the hotel offered reasonable value for the price, others were disappointed by the overall condition and maintenance of the facilities.
