This hotel is closing at the end of the month. We’ve stayed here a few times now and it’s always been a solid spot. The only negative is the beds aren’t very comfortable. BUT the breakfast is made to order which is included in the price and the people have always been amazing! We wish everyone luck in their next chapter!!
