"Built in 1939, the Grand is situated in the bustling heart of Downtown. The rooms are clean and its marbled bath rooms are divine, but most period fixtures have gone."

"A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."
Rough Guide
"Its claim to have “an authentic Art Deco ambience” is a slight exaggeration, though one or two of the fittings do seem to date from the 1930s, and the rooms are suitably sombre."
Lonely Planet
"A 1950s concrete monolith with some surprising art deco flourishes strewn about. Rooms are a bit on the dingy side, and have certainly seen brighter decades." Full review
