The rooms are very much the same since I last stayed 20 years ago. Dated but still usable. The ceiling had water damage and the gib plasterboard on the ceiling was exposed. The shower door wouldn’t s close properly. The hallway is very loud with people opening and closing/slamming doors from the hallway and then unfortunately the hotel was getting renovations at that time the noise at 8am disturbed us. Still a good hotel and affordable for a quick stay over.
