Very good

Had a nice stay. Breakfast was nice. Room was simple and clean, had everything we needed. Short walk into town for dining options (also had restaurant on site)
Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.
Reception—- staff not very helpful. Multiple steps with no ramp or elevator to get to the desk.. situated to the side of the hotel.
Room— multiple steps with no elevator or helpful way to get to the room.
Room— very cramped for 3 adults. In a lower level like half basement. Very spartan furnishing for the price charged ( 247 US$ ).
Bathroom — sink was very small & cracked, it was partly being shadowed by the small very old fashioned glass shelf. The water stank of sulphur. The bathroom measured less than 3 feet in diameter & about 8 ft or so in length.
No place to keep your toilet stuff.
Horrible for the price charged, at best it did not merit over 50 $.
Not over 2 star rating.
Restaurant —- very poor food. Over 25$ for a small cup of soup with very poor taste.
Breakfast — most items in bread section were clearly stale or day old or more.
Never stay there again.
The room itself was adequate. The shower is a little slippery for older folks. Beds were comfortable and the double pillows were an added bonus.
The main issue was the restaurant. It appeared that service in that restaurant differs depending on the color of one’s skin which was disappointing as it put a small damper on my mother’s dream trip.
Not a very friendly front desk staff, their free WiFi sucks, doesn’t work in rooms, works only near front desk. We had booked two rooms for two couples and they provided single beds that too in different directions.

The bathrooms were a little old and very tiny, and the water smelled bad and rotten.
Front desk and restaurant staff were pretty good.

The rooms were very dingy. The bathroom was deplorable. No elevators and no one to help if you have to haul your luggage.
Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner was overpriced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I should have looked at the Google rating (which is around 3) and it is correctly so.
