We got upgraded to the bridal suite and the room was immaculate. Distance to town was walkable and the staff was super helpful with a map and directions. Only downside was the water in the shower not getting hot enough.

Room was clean but carpets were musty and everything seemed very old - sure the lobby was updated and remodeled - the same attention needs to be paid to the rest of the facility. Pub was lively and fun - breakfast was as expected.

We loved the property, and would have loved to stay more than one night. We were facing the parking lot, which was a bit loud, but that’s expected on a Friday night.
