Catherine Ivers

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It"s an older hotel with stairs, so bear that in mind if you have mobility issue or a lot of heavy things to bring to the room. But for the price & location, it was fine for my needs. My room was recently renovated. Very nice. Clean & comfortable bed. I stayed on a Saturday night and it was quiet. I didn't hear anything at all. Parking was easy with a indoor garage attached to the hotel. I plan to stay there again.

I didn't like how they didn't clean the bathroom after the previous guests. The TV was sticky, the toilet had urine on the seat. It was very loud. The last 2 nights were horrible. Never again.
