Just ok
The room is dated, room was clean. Samore from cleaning staff, did a good job cleaning the room prior to our stay. However, the water from the tub was leaking on to the bathroom floor (not ideal for a bath, you could get by showering if you are not staying for long) and toilet seat was wobbly. The room had a balcony with carpet, which was nice. We have stayed at other hotels in the city, this one was not our favorite.
