Great Location for Exploration

Hotel Needs Refurbishment
Guests say rooms feel a bit date and the hotel in general needs an overhaul. More attention to detail is needed like cleaning cobwebs, replacing light bulbs, and cleaning carpets. A little TLC would go a long way.
negative:
Noise Can Be Bothersome
This hotel has a function room which can become quite noisy with voices and music playing, especially in the evenings, making it difficult to get a restful night's sleep. Walls between rooms are also quite thin and you can hear everything your neighbour does, including flushing the toilet.
negative:
Rooms Get Hot
Rooms do not offer air conditioning and can become extremely hot at night, especially during the summer time, making sleep rather uncomfortable.
