The front desk agent was very nice. The room was amazing! I felt like royalty when I entered the room. It was beautiful. Very clean! We weren't able to stay for breakfast because we had to leave very early. The next time I'm in town, I will definitely stay here again.

Janet

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, and quiet since it is slow season. The staff that checked me was having a bad day. But the staff the next morning was very nice, warm and inviting. Breakfast was good; eggs would be a great if you can add to the menu. Consider painting the doors and parts of the floor baseboards. They were scuffed up and paint was peeling. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
