Neighbourhood is quite rough, especially in two directions from the hotel. Room had no A/C and having the window open didn’t do much but allow the noise in. Even though it wasn’t hot outside, the room was too warm. If you have a car, parking is limited and expensive. Room had minimal power points. It did have plenty of drawers for clothes and a walk in wardrobe.

The hotel is too old. You can walk and hear the wood floors cracking. No water pressure, the elevator is not working properly. Parking is too expensive.
