It's an old inn that shows signs of regular upkeep. Some rooms allow smoking, so there's a faint lingering smell throughout. Breakfast is pretty minimal, though they do serve waffles made by the receptionists, which adds a quirky touch. The main draw is the pool, hot tub, and sauna—while small, they're very clean, which is definitely a plus.

The staff is very welcoming. The room was nice. Unfortunately the breakfast is not so good. The microwave oven in the breakfast room was dirty and the door would not open easily. The floor in the breakfast room was sticky and yuck. The breakfast food was cheap and scanty. If you are going to offer breakfast, why not get some decent bread? It would make a big difference to guests if you offered some appealing foods.
