Outdated room and interior and not the vintage outdated type. The dirty carpet and bad shower type. The type that your clothes start stinking of fried food while you have breakfast. Definitely not a five star hotel. Even worse the service was terrible. We were placed in a room and next morning we were told we need to move to another room. We refused to move and the manager said he would call the police. We told him we would be happy to talk to the police. At that point he called someone and the problem was resolved.

Lovely hotel. Spacious & comfortable room. Great breakfast. Would have preferred a separate shower cubicle in place of a shower over the bath. Would also have been nice to have a separate sitting area in the hotel lobby, for relaxing and reading, etc. But these are minor quibbles in what was, overall, an excellent stay.

My only complaint is that they put us in a second floor room that faced ongoing construction which started at 7 am. When I asked for another room, the hotel said it was fully booked.
