There are two sides of this property. One is old with small rooms and loud rooms. The other is refurbished and very nice. We were very disappointed the first night until they moved us to the new section of the hotel. Location is great within the town. Book the new side stay away from the old side.

Nice, small town, and very nice hotel for relatively cheap! Had a friend come with me and we had tons of options for things to do near by. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly.
