Took too long to check in and we were the only ones at the desk. After 1/2 hour wait, finally went to room on first floor facing main road. Brutal with noise from traffic and construction and always had to keep curtains closed for privacy. In the morning for continental breakfast, we had an early day out and most bins were already empty.

The hotel is under some kind of construction. When we arrived we were informed for that the elevator was broken, the ice machine was broken, we had no hot water in our shower, and the building was in poor condition. What we paid for this stay was robbery. The only reason this hotel kept Our business is because there's nothing else near. Avoid this place if you can.
