The hotel is very old with outside corridors and very noisy. Room was clean, but needs lots of repair done. We went to their breakfast and they were out of everything. Wait for 10 minutes and they never replenish anything, had to checkout and go elsewhere to eat.

The room itself was nice but the staff was not. I had one positive interaction with the staff at this location and the rest were all negative. There was also a promised full room cleaning after the third night and we never received a full room clean. The front desk also told me there was a crib charge which I later found out was not true, I don’t know what the at employee planned to do with the “crib charge” but it was very disappointing. Overall not a great experience and I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Front desk checked my husband in for the first night and when I arrived on the next night they claimed they didn’t (but he had his room key and slept in the room) and had to use his credit card again. That didn’t make any sense to us.

We had 2 separate reservations for 2 nights in a row. My husband checked in on Tuesday and let the staff know. They took his credit card information and processed him in. When I arrived the next day we told the staff at check in about the additional car. The guy said my husband wasn’t checked in for the day before and reprocessed him in again. Made no sense to the both of us and another guest standing there. The keys worked.
