This is a nice hotel overall. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. There was no desk, microwave, or a true refrigerator. There was plenty of hot water. Our biggest complaint was our room was hot and there is no air conditioning. We did open the windows and that help some. The restaurant and bar have the same menu. There are not a lot of selections and there are no other restaurants nearby.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is in a nice, convenient area. The room was large enough but a little run down, as was the entire property. There was no way to control the temperature for our room, and at times it became a little stuffy. There was no chest of draws or cabinet for storing clothes so we lived out of suitcases for the stay. The staff were OK in general but a few were indifferent and one was downright hostile.
