The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The pillows weren’t so great, unfortunately. The hotel is older, but is in a nice, good condition. Avoid the nasty laundry, though!!

William, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The gal who checked me in told me the room I booked wasn’t available and just switched me and didn’t give me the option to get my money back. She yawned the entire time I was at the desk then didn’t explain how to get to my room. Room was decent, was cleaned but had a musty smell. The door lock didn’t latch great and no second lock on the door so it was not a real comfortable night

Older property but very clean and updated. Great dining on premises.
Doug, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and appeared to be recently updated. There were no smells and access was great. Only thing I would have liked to see was windows that opened. Otherwise was a great stay. Didn't have much interaction with staff but they were pleasant enough. The adjoining restaurant was awesome.
Joanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are spacious. Shower/tub cleanliness has been lacking. I was not impressed with my checkin this time.

Horrible front desk staff
Adam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was nice. The room was clean. The beds were the only disappointment. They were very hard and uncomfortable. They seemed smaller than a queen.
