The room condition was poor, and did not feel comfortable. access to the room was not well maintained, making it inconvenient. Overall, the hotel needs better maintenance and upgrade to improve guest experience.

Retro vintage hotel, different sensation when taking the elevator. Stayed in Executive Suite room. Unlimited parking lot. Rooms were clean, aircond was cold. Spacious room and super comfy. Nothing special with the breakfast. Hotel situated far from foods but super close to the gas stations. A very nice hotel overall, worth the price.
