It was nice. The breakfast was good. However, our bathroom sink was clogged when we arrived. We managed though. Also, they are renovating the second floor and it was not closed off to guests. But the staff was friendly and the bed was comfy and they had toiletries in the rooms to include makeup wipes. So thoughtful. I would stay again.

Great location and the staff were friendly. The hotel definitely needs updating. The hot water didn’t work in the first room. So we had to change rooms. Then the sink in the second room was clogged up with some black stuff. There was no hairdryer and it took an act of congress to find another. Which ended up being sticky. We stay in this area multiple times a year and will choose a different place next time.
