We were only staying one night. Sylvia checked us in and she was pleasant, engaging and helpful. The breakfast options were good and the area was clean and well kept. The free cookies and popcorn were a nice surprise.

Look for alternatives!
Building is old. Room had a disinfectant smell. Probably, to mask moldy smell. No housekeeping. No safe to keep any valuables/ travel docs in the room. Breakfast was pretty basic. Air-conditioner in the room - so you keep hearing the constant hum and start/ stop of the AC. Pretty expensive for the kind of room and comfort it offered.
