The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while a bit shabby, were surprisingly comfortable with the unexpected touch of a Bible. However, there was a noticeable 'old fashion room' odor. The service was generally friendly and helpful, but there were instances of lacking attention to detail. The location is good within the city center and convenient for various activities, but it could use some improvement in ambiance. The dining experience was satisfactory with basic options.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were old-fashioned and had some dust on the tray and table, the view from the deluxe sea view room was quite nice. The lack of a knock or bell felt rude at times. The service, on the other hand, was commendable, with the staff arranging laundry promptly and being consistently smiling, polite, and helpful.
