Location is good, property is a bid old, and clinic and day hospital in the same bldg., one bed room has no air conditioner. Not ideal for summer time.

Worst reception experience I’ve had. The man at check-in and the woman at check-out (glasses, long black hair) were rude, arrogant, and completely unhelpful. No greeting, no professionalism, and zero hospitality. They made me feel unwelcome from start to finish. This hotel does not value its guests. I would never recommend it or return.
