Locals who visit this place are completely uncivilized as their behavior of spitting, coughing without covering mouth, & smoking everywhere is bringing Gloria's grand days down with new competition across the river and next door eat...

Rooms, indoor pool, buffet restaurant, and common areas were all nice. For the price, it was an excellent stay. The breakfast buffet is very very good. There is a bus stop just half a block from the hotel. This bus takes you on a milk run through town and eventually ends up at the train station. The bus is very cheap and great for sightseeing. Remember to take a business card from the hotel with you should...
