A nicely renovated hotel, rooms are small but nicely done. Unfortunately the beds are horrendous, honestly the hardest I have ever slept in. I went for dinner downstairs and the staff seemed confused and one young man behind the bar was too busy trying to be cool than actually providing good service. Food was very delicious and plenty of it. A real mixed bag here!
