The hotel seems relatively well-maintained and clean, but it is an older property, and some guests say that it's in need of some cosmetic updates here and there, to keep it fresh. Things like worn or stained carpets need replacing, while a lick of paint here and there would be good.

The free breakfast buffet is a positive for many guests, but some aren't so impressed, and particularly if you're staying for a few days, you may find the options repetitive. Some guests also say that items are liable to run out before the breakfast service is over.
