Older property in need of some tlc, but what stood out was the attention the staff gives to both the property and their guests. Every time I left my room there was someone cleaning in the public spaces on the property, room a bit dated but comfortable enough for a night.

Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. The room I selected was supposed to have a couch but did not. Only place to sit was a desk chair that would lean back too far unless you pushed it up against the wall. Otherwise, comfortable, clean room for the night.

Not great, not terrible. It was fine. It is an older building that could use some updates, but staff was friendly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked. Breakfast was very basic. It think it is fine for what it is.

Okay for an overnight stay

It was okay, clean, check in was okay. Super friendly staff! Tv didn’t work initially, after the front desk came up and did whatever, it started.. worked okay until turning it in the morning. Then stopped working again.. Shower/tub drained super slow as did the sink. Very limited choices for the continental breakfast. Overall it was okay for a one night stay, doubt I’d stay again

Clean hotel, nice beds, clean shower. No elevator, although only two floors. Only ding was breakfast. Lots of people, no place to sit, probably only three tables. Food was pretty much all gone at 8am. No employees around to restock. After waiting 10 minutes we just left. Everything else was good.
