Room was clean and comfortable, just a little old and no stairs. Front desk was very nice. Breakfast was decent. I think our neighbors were smoking pot in their room so we had to deal with that smell. I contacted the front desk and she said she would investigate. The smell did get better after that so I don’t know if it was because she confronted them or my husband putting the towel under the door.

The staff was lovely. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good. The furnishings were nice and the flooring in the room was nice. The smells were bad! Heavy perfume in the lobby, mothballs in the hall and fish, yep, fish in my room. Popcorn walls, dark halls, no elevator, bad hall carpet and my room was dirty. Old AC unit and a window "locked" only by an ill fitting bar bracing it. Too bad cz some things were nice

Person at front desk was friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Bed was fine. Nothing fancy to see here and it probably needs some updates, but overall it was good for our 1 night stay. Would stay again
