The whole room smell like sewer. The bodywash container was empty. The room is next to the hotel's AC machines so it was really noisy all the time.

staff was polite and nice but the hotel itself is old and in need of a lot of updates. the carpet is stained and gives off a musty smell. the rooms are updated and charming, but the beds are hard as rock and uncomfortable. the bathroom smelled horribly, like old sewer. the pool/pool area is very pretty and kept well, but outside of the friendly staff and pool area (that we didn’t use), i would not recommend this hotel. i think it has a lot of potential but i would not be back.
