This hotel met expectations, but did not exceed them. There wasn't, for example, soap in the bathroom. However, the friendly staff made up for it. The furniture is old, but cute. No bugs. A good place to rest your head. Beware, though. Apparently, there is live music under the hotel a few nights a week, and it is a little... More

This "hotel" is a glorified hostel, and a poor one at that. The outside and lobby are the only updated areas. The manager on duty was unwelcoming and even rude at times. One issue I had was that the wifi was not working when I arrived. The manager said "I gave 3 other people the password and they didn't complain."... More

Despite the fact there was no TV in the room I thought the old style furnishings were good-there was a large bath tub in the bathroom just like in an old western movie. A shared bathroom is what you get at this Hotel....which is not all that hard to cope with. I had a nice large room which was OK... More
