"Selected this place because it was located close to Rte 287 so I could get back on the road next day. Didn't have time to tour around so not sure about shops nearby. Staff was cordial and helpful. While promo pics were appealing, you can tell this is an old, old place that is in need of some renovations such as better lighting in the very spacious old style bedrooms that dreary even though there are good beds but sparse furnishing. If you have mobility issues beware that there are no elevators...
