The hotel is conveniently located for the university, shopping, restaurants, and the centre of town. The room was large, the kitchenette was usable, the bathroom was large. The hotel reminds us of what hotels were like in the 80s and 90s. Finding power points in convenient places was tricky. The manager was easy to find and very helpful. I think you could call the Alhambra classic and old school.
