This hotel provides accommodation of an acceptable standard. Nothing grand, nothing exceptional, nothing bad ... unless you suffer from a nostalgia for spot on hotels from the 60's USA or 70's UK in which case you will have the most wonderful experience ...that prequel Star Trek where the technology works , but only just and needs yo fall back on the tried and tested.
The lights TV and other stuff, mainly de-installed, are worked from the bedside console, with a very few back up toggle switches which resemble buzzers or bells ... yes they had me fooled and I was reluctant to switch on the light in case I summoned housekeeping or room service.
The wifi worked with a strong signal, the TV remote didn't quite work but the bedside controls allowed me to scroll through the channels ... and a strange mix they were. The hot water worked in the manner of a good 4* from the early UK seventies and a 164 cm person could fit themselves into the tub for a really nice bath. Sadly the shower worked in the same fashion. On a brighter note the newly installed replacement for the central A/C was quiet and efficient and the remote control worked, even though it took me a few minutes to sort out exactly how to get exactly what I wanted from it.
There is nothing wrong with this hotel, ok its tired but it is...This hotel provides accommodation of an acceptable standard.

There is nothing wrong with this hotel, ok its tired but it is an a good location and if you hanker after that late 60's early 70's good hotel feeling this is the place for you. Otherwise just use this place as a convenient reasonable value and safe option.More
