Rooms were well appointed & clean. Staff was pleasant & it had a great vibe. Hot tub & pool looked nice. It was chilly & raining but both were warm ( could have been a bit warmer for my wife ). Bar “in the parking lot” was delightful. Definitely do it again!

While it was pretty cool to be staying in a historic hotel, the room wasn't anything special and the bathroom was on the small side. It's definitely no frills. That said, the staff were friendly and helpful and the temperature in the pool and hot tub were excellent.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The pool was perfect and relaxing (though the server was crabby). We had a king suite which was very spacious but the shower was a constant surprise. It would be hot then randomly cold and vise versa. It was very close and convenient to the main part of town with a lot of restaurants and shops near by.

Decent location. Tiki bar and Mexican restaurant on site were good. Rooms were largely clean but... the bed was not comfy, and the AC was loud and sometimes smelled funny.
