This place is old. The lobby is true to the building's history and I imagine this is what other people like about it, too.The renovations have made the room nicer. Balconies need work. Balcony door curtain needs to be longer. Didn't try anything else. My second stopover at the inn because it's got a nice vibe.

Comfortable and convenient. It’s an old property and it shows. The staff is top notch. One of the wash basin had a stench coming from it in room #280. Pillows need to be changed as they are no longer usable. Beds are great. Easy parking. Great pool. Plenty of dining options around.
