6.4/10

The hotel has a grand exterior that piques your interest, but the experience quickly diminishes once you step inside. While the staff are generally hardworking and try to keep things running smoothly, the overall state of the rooms and the dining options leave much to be desired. The location is decent, being close to the town center, but the lack of maintenance in both the rooms and facilities is disheartening.
