Great location, and the positives stop there. The rooms are uncomfortable to sleep in, you can hear everything happening in the hallway or other rooms. The bed and pillows were not comfortable. The air conditioning didn’t work properly, and there was a stink in the room, maybe because it’s an old hotel,
