Hotel needs to undergo a renovation of its rooms
Several guests have complained about the state of disrepair that the hotel appears to be in. Some frequent complaints were concerning the rusty fittings. The rooms were also said to have old and very dated furniture and decor. Some rooms lacked air conditioning system while in others they appeared to be ineffective and some rooms become overheated and stuffy.
