Checkin was poor, had to wait as large tour group arrived and there was only one person at the desk. Both lights above beds didn’t work, stains on the floor and the shower had very little pressure. The room although clean enough needs up grading. I wouldn’t go back or recommend to others

Old and outdated bathrooms that look like they need a serious powerscrub rather than a quick wipedown. Very limited facilities in room such as no microwave. Loud fridge we had to unplug to be able to sleep. Comfy beds though, and good sized room.
