Morning Delight
Make sure to set your alarms! You don't want to miss out on the wonderful continental breakfast, which is said to have some incredibly tasty coffee. The food is fresh, the selection is varied, and the portions are generous. If you're still hungry at the end of your meal, you can always ask for more food. If the weather permits, guests recommend dining on the outdoor patio.

No Lift
There is no elevator onsite and the hotel has several levels. If you plan on having a lot of luggage or have trouble with stairs, make sure to request a room on the lowest floor.

Time to Renovate
This is an older property and it shows. Guests agree that the hotel needs some all over maintenance, redecoration, and cosmetic touch-ups.

Missing Modern Touches
Many of the rooms have limited modern amenities, and guests would have liked to have a refrigerator and coffee maker at the very least. In addition, not all the rooms have an air conditioner. Even when its present, it doesn't function very well.
