"I heard that the hotel is currently undergoing some renovations, which I believe will help improve the overall guest experience. The hotel is quite old, and some of the amenities, especially the towels, are noticeably worn out. The towels were quite old, discolored, and looked like they had seen better days. Overall, though, the stay was okay. The biggest advantage is its convenient location, especially being close to the airport."
