When it was completed in 1956 this small town hotel was the tallest building in Puzi, but it has since fallen into disrepair. It has some unusual architectural and decorative touches, from the cross-crossing staircases to nude portraits imprinted on the tile walls of several rooms. Although it continues to operate into the 2020s it seems seedier than ever, and staff will not necessarily be friendly to outsiders interested only in the building itself.
