The room we stayed in was close to the elevator and was LOUD from people in the hallway and noise from the street. The hotel room didn’t seem very clean and the lobby carpet was stained. No one helped us with our bags to our room. I would rate this hotel 3 stars at best.

The hotel is a bit dated but it nevertheless had (minimal) air con during an active heat wave. The staff also proactively offered an additional fan, slippers, and ice. This hotel set high expectations for our following hotels across the country, which none of them lived up to.
