It was not suitable for handicap persons as there was no mention of steps, I had a lot of trouble climbing up and down. Breakfast was far below expectations. Only good part is staff that went an extra mile to help me with my disability. Please mention it in your website.

The room was clean as was the rest of the hotel. The shock was finding out there was no elevator. Fortunately the staff were very pleasant and carried our suitcases up to the 3rd floor. The other problem was that whole area closes down on Saturday at 3:00, check in time. The only place we could find to eat was Burger King. There were a couple of very noisy bars that didn’t serve food. The air conditioning in the room wasn’t very good and there was a lot of noise from the street outside our room, making it difficult to sleep.
