Good location. Many attractions nearby. Spacious room (Deluxe), like the digital TV and blockout curtains. Average cleanliness, facilities dated and hard water stains very visible around bathroom hardware. Bath has stains and marks. Smell in the room (not the sulphur smell). Amenities of average qualities. Sleepers too thin and soft. Bed throw too old and worn out. Did not interact with any staff apart from frontdesk. Definitely has seen better days.

We have stayed many time, but this time our stay was disappointing. The air con was noisy. We couldn't use it a night when it was cold. We had to ask for robes. This is the first time that our room did not have robes. The bathroom smelt like urine. We have noticed that the Hotel is starting to look shabby. Dirty walls and doors
