Disappointing
The staff did their best to accommodate our experience. We had booked a suite. Unfortunately it was very dirty. We were then given a different suite which unfortunately too was very dirty. The hotel seems in a not very good condition. Beside our room being dirty the interior was old and need renovation. Location is good. Be aware that parking is expensive.
