We had two rooms here (a nice king and an economy quadruple): The king room was very nice, with a balcony overlooking the main road; the quadruple was quite basic (four bunkbeds, no window), but perfectly adequate.||No elevator, but we managed.||The staff were friendly and helpful.||A good central location.||We'd stay again.
