Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No in house bar or dinning. Room key had to be reprogrammed daily even though the stay was multiple days. Found four items under bed plus had not seen a vacuum in ages. Over priced for tarrif. Bath/shower was a nightmare accident waiting too Happen. Noise from street until 4am both nights. Fighting oposite, traffic noise. A tired and run down hotel. Bed covers badly stained. Two adjoining restaurants back entrances opened into the Hotel reception area even though the Hotel Main door was lock coded for guest entrance after 10pm. Car parking and terraces close when reception closes At 10pm. But these 2 restaurants have access to hotel areas after 10pm when no hotel staff are present. This is a security risk for Hotel patrons. The stairs and lift are not key carded so the entire upper floors are accessible . On the plus side convenient to downtown if you do not have your own transportation. Walkable to Cafès, restaurants.and Casino.
