Great location for walking through town. Staff was friendly and attentive to all my needs. What I didn’t care for was that the air conditioner unit was very noisy so I had a difficult time getting a restful sleep. I would recommend this hotel and stay there in the future.

We were disappointed. We informed the front desk that we had left our room at 8:30 and requested the room be cleaned. When we arrived at 2:30 the room was untouched. We were tired and wanted to shower and rest and we couldn’t. We were informed that new incoming customers were a priority. Not happy

The room was very noisy causing loss of sleep. The air conditioner was old and noisy. The refrigerator created a loud whining noise. The door was not sufficiently soundproof, and guests and guides spoke audibly outside our room throughout the night.
