I stayed one night at the hotel and it was fantastic. The service is good and the staff are willing to help. The restaurant food was a pleasant surprise; although the menu is simple and without much variety, the food is plentiful and tasty. The rooms are clean and well-equipped. The hotel has carpet and sometimes the smell of cigarettes lingers in the hallway. Overall, I recommend it; it was a good experience.
