The hotel is ok for 1 night... the pool was a disaster with no towels and everything on the floor, it was so dirty but when we complained to the front desk, we were told that this will be only fixed tomorrow. Rooms are outdated but spacious and enough for one night.

Nice staff. Building in good shape. For me the pillows were too soft making sleeping uncomfortable. There was a problem with the door keys not working but it did not present any problem really.
