Newly renovated spacious rooms with comfortable beds. There is a sink in the bathroom and a sink outside the bathroom that made getting ready for our event so much easier. The staff is friendly and rooms were very clean! They are in the process of renovating the old staircase. We were pleasantly surprised by the room!
