The bed was uncomfortable and noisy with a completely broken down mattress. There was an additional $25/day parking fee not mentioned upon booking, and the breakfast offerings were absolutely horrible.

We appreciated the spacious rooms, the friendly and responsive staff, and how clean the rooms and linens were. We had the King Suite, and it fit us and our kids well. The rooms had windows an it was a comfortable space. One thing to know is that it is an older building and the hot water takes longer than you anticipate to get to the room. Be patient, it will come. We like that it is an independent establishment and the staff seem to communicate well with each other, and were definitely responsive when we had questions. For the price, we think this a very pleasant and welcoming place to stay.

So I booked for two days due to the necessity for work and my Internet going out. However, great the front desk staff was in accommodating me an early check-in. I did let them know the situation and they put me in a room with absolutely no outlets to utilize the laptop or my medical job that was needed. I ended up only staying four hours.

The property of undergoing renovations but that wasn't the problem. The other guests were very loud and a bit unsavory. The evening check in staff were gruff and unfriendly. Wasn't in the greatest section of town. No restaurants close by. Most likely won't stay there again.
