Available room configurations include rooms with one king bed or two double beds, as well as an accessible room with an accessible tub. Rooms with club lounge access include nightly turn-down service and access to the executive lounge. Some rooms have been described as spacious, while others feel small due to pillars or dated decor. The property's age is reflected in some finishes, with reports of chipped furniture and outdated bathrooms. The interior of the hotel is well-kept, with some noting a musty smell in corridors. Road-facing rooms may be less suitable for light sleepers.
