The staff were super friendly and helpful! The room itself was nice...sure, the property could use a little TLC here and there, but overall it was great. You’d really have to nitpick to find much to complain about. The location was perfect, close to everything, and the breakfast was delicious. The only thing I noticed is that it seems like anyone could enter through the side entrances. There are cameras around, and I didn’t notice any issues, but coming from NYC, that stood out to me a bit. Otherwise, the place had all the accommodations you’d need, and the welcome gift bag was such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely stay here again.

Requested a room near lobby, room assigned was the furthest point from the lobby in the entire hotel and was on the 2nd floor also opposite from elevator. Not good for someone traveling with mobility issues. Lots of exterior doors to enter hotel, none of them have locks or any type of security. Halls are dark and smell stale like smoke.

The stay was okay

It was okay. Parts of the hotel were dated and in need of a fix up. Could use fragrance in the lobby due to smoking rooms. Water ran from the spout as the water came from the shower head. But the water temp and pressure were still there. My first room had dirt on the bed so we changed rooms and the second room was free of dirt. The stay was fine overall.

It was clean but there was essentially no cold water! The cold water came out warm enough to shower in! Both the shower faucets and the sink faucets! The WiFi was weak. The keys were unreliable which is a problem when you go down for coffee and have somewhere that you need to be at a certain time and you can’t get back in your room to shower. The courtyard was lovely and the bed was comfy.

The property in general needs an overhaul/ make over. The lobby was dark and dingy. We arrived at the hotel and my wife and I thought that it was closed, it wasn’t inviting to enter. The room was like ok but it needs improvement, the dining room where we had breakfast was like being in the 1600’s very old. The room was clean and fresh sheets and towels. If you can stay somewhere else!!!
