This is very old hotel, def not a 5 star hotel. Staffs are very kind and responsive to any need you might have. They should however remove the carpets from their rooms, they stink. Air was not circulating in the room after shower so the room or the carpets have moldy smell. Location is convenient, area is safe. Bathroom was really small. Shower had partial glass coverage, so after shower, water is spilling everywhere.
