Location of hotel great. Staff pleasant and helpful. Bed comfortable.

The hotel is aged, smells of being old. Desperately needs an upgrade. Was basically clean.

"First and last time. It's a shame, great location."

3.0

Considering it's handy location, it was fairly quiet.

Cockroaches, hundreds of them. We went out for the evening, returned to the room, and cockroaches were everywhere e.g. both beds, pillows, floor, kitchenette, bathroom/shower, our suitcases, our toiletry-bags; absolutely everywhere. It was disgusting.
