Was very reasonable - we paid $106 tax included. I would say the hotel was great for that price - perhaps a bit dated and worn but it was still clean and the breakfast was very good, staff was very friendly.

I guy that checked us in could only find 1 of the 2 reservations. Charged both rooms to my credit card, when we told him the second room was going to be paid for on a separate credit card by the person, I reserved the room for and this all happened on Friday, and it took them until Sunday morning at checkout to get it all straightened out....and the extra charges didn't come off my card until Monday.
