This hotel makes no attempt atempt to hide the fact that it was once a jail. That's what makes it interesting. The doors are still like cell doors, there are still bars on the windows, there are jail exhibits in the hallway, and the outside looks like a jail. The rooms are former cells for one or two inmates that were converted into rooms by squeezing in a shower/WC/sink unit in a gray box. My family of four was staying in one room, so there were two bunk beds. There was no room for any other furniture. There was barely room for our luggage. If you are looking for room to relax or work at a desk, you won't find it here. If we were staying more than one night, we would have been unhappy with the room. But for one night in town, it was a fun and unusual play to stay. High marks for the clerk at the desk and the complimentary breakfast the next morning. the location was convenient to the tourist parts of town.

It was a good experience staying in an old jail and the location wasn't bad but the nightclub in the hotel has music playing most of the night so if you want to have a goodnight sleep then maybe stay somewhere else, other then that it was fine..
