*** travelers beware *** Stayed recently and encountered several issues that made the visit uncomfortable: • Mold on the bathroom ceiling, which staff attributed to the age of the building — but that doesn’t excuse a health concern. • Insufficient heating in the room, despite chilly weather. • spider in bathroom • When I asked to cancel the second night, I was told it wasn’t possible (no cancellations) Instead, they offered a different room • Throughout, staff interactions lacked warmth and professionalism. I didn’t feel heard or supported. I understand older properties come with quirks, but basic cleanliness, comfort, and respectful service should never be negotiable.

A quiet place with free parking. The accommodations was far below our standards. The bathroom window was not clean. The entire bathroom need to be repainted and take out the molding. The room had a heavy smell. Maybe due to humidity from the ground carpet. The bed mattress was not comfortable. If you want the room to be serviced you have to ask for it. The rooms need to be upgraded. The location was pleasant and not far from downtown few minutes by car.

The property is decrepit which is a shame. If owners would invest a little in keeping the property up to some standard, it wouldn't be that bad because the property is really nice (or it was). The staff is helpful but the conditions of property is not that great. The bedrooms are cleaned just the minimum but if you look harder you see that they need a good spring cleaning. The flooring in our bedroom was peeling off which can be an hazard when walking. The breakfast is a joke, just sandwich bread and jam or peanut butter, muffins and yogurt. Some dry cereals too. We're not coming back.
