This classic property has been brought back to life with dining option great. The Tavern was nice with lots of TVs for sports. With this nice of an indoor area, I was hoping for more than basic continental breakfast.

If you make an appointment and try to cancel before you arrive, they will still bill you for the stay. Go across the street their a much better group of people.

Would have given 5 stars, but the restaurant inside is way too expensive for the quality of food you receive. This is my 2nd or 3rd time staying here, it really is a nice place and I'll stay here again. The rooms are very clean and freshly updated. I'm not a fan of the "barn door" style bathroom doors that hotels are going to
