Great location, but older hotel so with that you don't have the most comfortable rooms. The first room I was assigned had bad mold smell coming from the split a/c unit, which was caked in dirt if I look inside the vents. They gave me different room which which had no mold smell and looks like a new split ac unit. The new room was good. Getting the water temperature during shower time (tried at different times in the day) was extremely challenging. All of the of the staff was super courteous and super helpful.
