We planned an overnight stop just because we heard about this hotels history, but that's pretty much about it for this place.
When we arrived, we weren't even greeted by the receptionist who was extremely rude, in my opinion. That was an immediate turn-off to be frank. We were basically given the keys and remotes for the room and were told where to find the room (and we got a bit lost). This is not a problem, but guests that arrived after us were taken to their room, which was next to us by the same receptionist. She was seeing laughing and cracking jokes with them, but we received no such treatment. We weren't even told the times for breakfast. On checkout, I'm not sure what it has to do with me that she has to claim from Agoda. That's not my job, that's her job. She doesn't need to publicize it.
The hotel claims to be haunted, but this is just a marketing strategy, in my opinion. Yes, it's old, but that doesn't mean that it's haunted.
Other than the rude receptionist, who needs a lot of training in hospitality, the restaurant staff is always smiling and willing to help, which made us feel a lot better.
The rooms were clean, but the wifi was extremely slow. I won't recommend staying here longer than a night.
If you get people who know how to treat guests, even if the rooms are not the greatest, this makes or breaks a hotel.
