Nice place with quiet rooms and comfy beds. Didn’t take advantage of the pool as we were in late and out early. Breakfast worked as well! The area outside around back was a bit run down but still was good!

The room was nice. Remember to pick your cell phone cords up off the floor before house keeping comes in or they will destroy them in the vacuum. Other than that the stay was very pleasant.

Noisy if you had a room near pool on same floor as pool. If I stayed again would get balcony above pool. Also should not have a picture of hot tub in photo gallery since you say hot tub is permanently closed. False advertising

This property isn’t anything like what the pictures claim. It is very old and not well kept. I have stayed in old hotels before, they are still maintained.
