Overall my experience was very pleasant. My only suggestion is that they show a photo of the entrance. I arrived after dark and like others thought it was a closed down hotel. Thankfully i pulled up the listing and read the reviews while sitting outside and realized i had the correct place and i just needed to ring the bell. But other than that the place was amazing for the value!! I will definitely be back soon.

Don’t let the outside fool you!! It looks like it is shut down/closed. But just go to the door and ring the bell. They will let you in to the most beautiful place. The big door scared the crap out of me. Looks like a haunted house out front but it is just the door that opens at a beautiful palace!

We stayed 2 different nights in the same room during the same week and we didn’t have hot water both times. The breakfast was excellent both visits and the check in staff was friendly.

Nice hotel but very difficult to find.

Pros: Room very nice.
Location: Very hard to find. Does not have a good outside appearance but room was very clean and nicely decorated.
Pleasant staff with limited English. Parking was very limited.
