The Downtown Hotel

“Not a 5 star but I will come back”

The hotel staff are nothing but exceptional. So friendly and helpful. Although showing its age, the hotel is clean and safe.

“Functional, affordable, in a good central location, lacking some amenities.”

Our room (family room) was very large, with separate living room, and two bathrooms with showers. Balconies and a nice view of the mountains. First two floors of the building are a mall and offices, with hotel upstairs - our room was up four flights, and with no elevator, that meant significant effort getting our luggage up there (and back down when we checked out). There is no dedicated parking. Finding on-street parking for our rental car was not hard, but actually getting into the parking spots, with very narrow streets and sharp ditches between road and sidewalk, was sometimes challenging. Staff were very nice, very helpful. Note that there is no daily servicing of the rooms, so if you need something you go to the desk and ask for it. Desk is staffed during the day but they are sometimes out for hours at a time, so you cannot predict when someone will be there; night guard is sometimes able to get things also, but doesn't always know where they keep everything. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked very well, and there were just enough power outlets - I wish they had a few more, but there were enough. Wifi, though free and without a login portal, was very bad quality, often slow or cutting out for a minute or two at a time. Mini-fridge was broken when we got there, they replaced it promptly when we asked. Second mini-fridge worked, but was quite small (so was the first) and weak: Things didn't really get that cold, and took a long time to get cold. Small freezer compartment could not freeze water, even when set to maximum. Sinks are small and very shallow, so you can't even fill a standard 16oz bottle with water - you cannot fit its mouth under the faucet. We used a smaller water bottle we bought, to refill other bottles. No microwave, but there is an electric hot water kettle.
