The Breakfast was excellent and the room was clean. The staff were kind. The linens were clean and adequate. However... The hotel is very dark and dated. The parking and approach to the hotel entrance is rough and frequently occupied with smokers. The building is old and smells terribly of stale cigarette smoke in the halls and public areas. The mattress on the bed sags and has been used beyond its lifespan.
