Check-in was easy and staff were very pleasant. Room was clean but has definitely seen better days. Bath mat was extremely stained, bed was comfortable. Lots of noise coming from adjacent rooms. I didn't love the place; I didn't hate it. It was worth the money, and there was on site parking.
We stayed because they were large dog friendly. It was nice to have a separate bedroom with 2 twin beds. It had updated decor, but parts of the building and the room were tired looking.
It’s a beautiful hotel but it’s old and needs cleaning and maintenance. One of the outlets in the bedroom I stayed, had no cover, which is very dangerous. Other than that place was very nice and quiet.
