Staff was friendly. Place is well kept, housekeeping also helpful. Only thing I did not care for was not being to control the thermostat. The room was cold when we arrived and had to get help from front desk to get it changed. This was only a minor inconvenience. Everything else was great!

The staff was really courteous and helpful and the public space charming. The rooms are simple but ample, the exception being the sink which is small to the point that it's difficult to use. It's an old building, so climate control was tough (it was December), but the staff provided a space heater that absolutely made up the difference. It's a good hotel overall and I'd stay again assuming activities are in the area.
