City hotel
This is a budget hotel. Okay for a night or if you want to see the city on a budget. The room is small. The water pressure is great. You have a double bed tv shower bathroom. Clean and tidy. Staff accommodating and helpful. Choose a room not on the ends of the floor for quietness. There is security. Soap is provided.
