For the price you pay, it's a quaint little hotel! It was clean, comfortable and quiet! The staff was friendly and checked in with us often. The breakfast didn't have any hot options other than waffles and bagels, but it was still a nice spread for being included in the price. This was our second stay, and it was overall a great experience!

The hotel is old and capital investment is not occurring. The room had 1980's wallpaper and due to the age, it was peeling off the wall on every piece of wall paper.

Our room on the first floor was smelly, damp and dingy. The attendant very kindly let us try a second-floor room. It had less smell and was not damp. (It too was dingy.) We moved to the second-floor room and were very glad we did.

Great employees and manager

Staff was VERY nice and easy to talk to/deal with including the manager who was there in the day when I checked in. Honestly, my ONLY problem was with the dampness in both the hallway and the room. They need dehumidifiers at least on the main floor. The bed was really comfortable and I'm not a good sleeper - when I fell asleep, I slept REALLY well.

Room was too disgusting and dirty to stay. Front desk staff gave me a warning at check in “we are sold out and we can’t switch your room but I even tried to clean it myself and it won’t come out”. This place needs an inspection from the health department. Dirty with smell of mold and damp everywhere.
