if u want a high class budget hotel of the 80's this is to be the hotel of choice. think old school tv...with vision four cable tv...wifi of the 90's super unreliable....old school breakfast....but costly then this hotel should be the last choice hotel unless you really need to check in...mouldy smell and unkempt rooms...
