The hotel needs to be updated. The mattress and pillows were old as well. The hotel feels old. There was music playing all night during the first night of our stay coming from the speakers of the lobby. I am sure I was not the first to complain about it. I extended my stay for 3 for nights but I checked out and moved to another hotel.
