Nice

We were very pleased with our room and the overall service at the hotel. It was our honeymoon and we were very well taken care of.

Comfortable, central hotel

The hotel is very centrally located, though it is not easy to get to by car. My room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were helpful.

Not what I expected..not impressed

This hotel is listed as a 4 1/2 star. In my opinion, it is maybe a 3 star. The halls are dingy and the carpets are dirty, the room has cracked walls and the bathroom has old oaneled ceilings. Just take me word, I warned you, it’s not going to be what you expect it to be. If you go there, keeping in mind that this is a 3 star hotel, then you would probably be fine with it. But I had 4 1/2 star expectations and was disappointed. I tried to get my money back to go somewhere else but was unable to. I called the front desk, they asked what was wrong, and I replied, the quality of the hotel. They upgraded me to a bigger room, but it was just bigger, the quality was no different. Afterall, it is still the same hotel.
