It’s big property with several amenities, including outdoor swimming pool. The building seems to be a bit old, very slow elevator and out dated corridors decor and carpeting. The room bathroom was nicely retrofitted but furniture and carpet were aged.

We reserved 2 double rooms. When we got the the one it was completely covered in mold. Celling, walls and the beds and floor were wet. We went to the front desk and had to take a king room on the 3rd floor. The front desk person was very polite.
