Definitely an older hotel. The towels have been used many, many times and were not fluffy at all. There was a dripping in one of the stairwells so the carpet was wet. The breakfast was good and the cost of my stay was low so those were good points.

Courteous staff. Fair bed and breakfast. The halls were freezing which made the bathroom area on the cold side. The hand towels smelled funny and the bathroom floor was a bit sticky. But all in all a good value for the price.

The facility is dated. The bathroom was worn and in need of renovations. One very thin blanket between two sheets. Luke warm water in the shower. The breakfast was good with real scrambled eggs rather than the watery powdered eggs of many free breakfast buffets.
