Old and dated but relatively clean. Reminds me of hotels back in the 80’s. Pool is out of commission. Room is really spacious but sheets aren’t the cleanest. They are washed but there are spots on them.

Not to Impressed, won't stay again.

We booked our stay based on photos and review rating provided on Hotels.com. The photos must have been from when the hotel was new as it is currently no where near the condition indicated by photos. The room was musty smelling. The hot water was none existent. The bathroom door would not close. The room door was binding and difficult to gain entry. Furniture was very dated. Carpets needed replacing. Overall, not impressed. The hallway was musty smelling. The exterior of the building was needing a lot of maintenance. To be fair, a couple of items that were good (to be fair). When we inquired about musty smell and asked if breakfast was provided, we were given complimentary breakfast vouchers at attached restaurant. Bedding and towels were clean. Bed was okay. Front office staff were friendly.

I liked staying here

Not a bad place to stay. Its seen better days but they are trying. It was a more than adequate place to spend a couple of nights. Nice and quiet, attached to a restaurant which is handy.
