Nice pool and jacuzzi. Decent breakfast. Room had a worn mattress that made sleeping difficult. Air conditioning unit was very noisy and didn’t cool very well. There is a musty odor in the room and hallways, but that’s probably because it’s an older building and has wall to wall carpeting. Overall stay was okay, it’s within walking distance to attractions and restaurants.

We had an excellent experience! The property is a little dated but it was affordable in an absolutely beautiful area. I’ve heard it’s going to be demolished to make way for a new facility. Honestly just wish they would choose to refresh this one. It has a rich history and is a sweet place to stay.

There is a BIG CONSTRUCTION going on next to the hotel. The rooms were clean and okay. The showers are old. The breakfast was really good. I suggest you request rooms away from the construction. They charge for parking. Their website shows the way it use to be not how it is now.

For an older building, we had a great experience. The price was right, breakfast food was what you'd expect : eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereals, fruit, bagels and the extras. The guy refilling did an exceptional job at keeping all options available! The location is great and the bed super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower fantastic.
