It’s worth the money. The only thing that made me think it’s a four star was the staff was a bit not enthusiastic about us checking in. They were okay.

The room was clean as was the bathroom. The bed was very very soft, more on the verge of old. Otherwise I would have given the hotel 5 stars. The breakfast deserves 6 stars.
