I have stayed here one night a year for 9 years. I like about everything they have and do. The breakfast is at a regular restaurant and very good. Only changes I would like is to have the rooms updated. They are old and outdated

I liked staying here

Not a bad place to stay. Its seen better days but they are trying. It was a more than adequate place to spend a couple of nights. Nice and quiet, attached to a restaurant which is handy.

Location was great, good areas to walk. Close to Museum and monument. Adjoining restaurant was helpful. Room was clean. Bathroom was dated. The sink was cracked and very low height. I'd stay there again.
