This poor hotel. It tries so hard to be luxurious but the condition is SO bad! It’s so outdated that it looks like the last renovation was in the 1980’s. The staff tries so hard and does such a great job trying to compensate for the hotel’s condition. The walls, wallpaper, doors, shutters - just about everything - needs to be torn out and replaced. The bed was comfortable but it’s just such a throwback to the 80’s. As a travel agent, I was shocked at the property condition.
