9/10 Wonderful! (65 reviews)

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel with friendly staff and decent facilities. However, the place could benefit from some upgrading. Our room was lacking in proper maintenance as the fan in the bathroom was very noisy, and worst of all the internet and cell service was extremely slow.
