Good and pleasant hotel overall. My only complaint is that we stayed for two nights and the room was never cleaned. We would have expected at least the basic housekeeping service. It would also be nice if they offered at least a bottle of water in the room.

Hotel appears to be old needs to be renovated. The air conditioner is the old style wall unit it sufficiently. The room was clean but needed an update. Staff was friendly on check in but when I tried to get a copy of the receipt, they couldn’t do it at checkout.
