"Bedding was acceptably clean. However, due to the age of the hotel the bathroom shows sign of wear and tear. The bathtub wasn’t levelled so would wobble; and there is signs of mould around the walls. The door handle was ran out of batteries when we checked in, but that was a small inconvenience. The staff are very friendly and helpful, which make up for the wear and tear. But it would be nicer if hotel management could renew the amenities."
