While the hotel offers spacious rooms that are suitable for families, the overall experience was marred by outdated furniture and poor maintenance. The room facilities, including the slow geyser and frequent power outages, made things less comfortable. Additionally, the staff's expectation for forced tipping left a sour note on our stay.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were old and barely comfortable, and the service left much to be desired, especially at checkout. On the bright side, the rooms themselves were spacious and the availability of in-room dining was a nice touch. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here based on my experience.

The hotel has spacious rooms which are great for families, making it a convenient choice for those traveling in larger groups. However, the furniture is quite dated and the overall upkeep seems lacking. While the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, the service fell short, especially with some awkward moments at checkout. Overall, it's a decent option, but don't expect modern comforts.

I had a really unsatisfactory stay at this hotel. The infrastructure is very old, and the furniture in the room was not only outdated but also made noise when I sat on it. The staff was unprofessional when I raised concerns about my meal. On the positive side, there is a fair amount of space in the rooms, which might suit families, and free Wi-Fi was available. However, considering the condition of the hotel, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
