Montecassino Hotel and Event Venue
"Hotel itself was nice however the front door is kinda hidden. Our room was comfortable until the roof of our bathroom began leaking water heavily and we were then switched. Elevators were a bit sketchy in my opinion, very loud and the buttons didn’t always work. Staff was very helpful and kind."

"It’s old. Unclean. Frequented by some interesting characters. Oh and the staff are not exactly set up for hospitality. Best avoid. Unless you just need a cheap(ish) place to crash."
