The hotel itself was fine- good location, clean, a little outdated but that gave it some character. The mattress in our room was HORRIBLE. New mattresses would be a huge help!

Hotel is beautiful, staff friendly. Hardest beds I’ve ever slept on, and the walls are so thin. Could hear people upstairs walking, and could hear people moving in hallway starting at 4am. This was a work trip and stayed in a hotel only to sleep, and that was nearly impossible. Will not be back.
