Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and reasonably priced. The parking lot's limited spots needs to be addressed and the hotel's high traffic areas are in need of some repair/replacement. I have stayed here a few times and will continue to stay here.

Everyone on the staff was great. The building is old and quirky, so interesting. Great location. My only complaint: The guest directory is a QR code. I don't have a problem with that, but it should have been on the coffee table or something becaise we didnt find it until the second day over by the tv.
