The location of the hotel is very central, so you can quickly walk to shopping, dinning and bus terminals. The reason for the lower cleaniness rating is because the carpet is old and has stain. It would be good if it can be steam cleaned or changed.

Pretty alright hotel. The wifi is very patchy and the walls are thin so if you’re a light sleeper you might want to bring some earplugs. Overall, the location is great and the staff are friendly/helpful.

The room was clean and had a view of the mountains. We had a fridge & microwave. The hotel itself is old and in need of an update. We didn’t spend much time in our room. The parking was free. The location is great. It is one of the cheapest priced hotels we could find. It suited our needs.
