Room was tiny. Food horrible. Had to send 2 meals back to the kitchen. Breakfast eggs are powdered. Everything way overcooked and sauce on everything. Probably to mask the overcooked chicken fish etc. prices are not worth what you are given. Skip this place.

This is a very old hotel. The bathroom was minuscule. No counter space, just a pedestal sink. No closet in the bedroom, just an armoire with a small space for hanging things. Very noisy. Creaky floors, no soundproofing between rooms or hallway noise. Kids upstairs were jumping and pounding on the floor most of our stay.Morning coffee was a carafe that was empty.
