This once grand hotel has been left to decay and rust. The staff told us they are renovating next year and it is way overdue.
I could forgive the condition of the building if every piece of furniture in main rooms didn't look like it came from a cheap convention center! It's just soulless. The beds were so lumpy and they didn't even have normal soap and shampoo in the bathrooms, just a one soap fits all dispenser, that was not refilled even when I told staff it was empty.
I would have loved spending time in the bar or on our balcony over looking the beach and beautiful clock tower, but it was so depressing we spent all of our time outside the hotel.
Such a shame really. I hope it is restored to its former beauty.
