Average stay
Overall ok stay. The hotel is in a prime area with shops and riverfront activities. The hotel itself was ok. I was a given a different room than what was booked and didn't dispute because we were extremely tired.

Old
The man working at the front desk was very kind. However, the other woman was very rude and impolite. In the room, there was a very large wasp flying around. The window was covered with cobwebs and bugs, and the wallpaper was old and stained in many corners. It is a very old hotel, and although the hot tub is indoors, it was not in operation.
