Staff was great, check in easy... all very polite. But rooms were very dated. Old carpet, poor water pressure, and furniture that you would expect in a college dorm room. Really surprised and disappointed.

We always enjoy staying here. This was a last minute decision after a long day of flying. We decided to stay the night then drive home the next morning. Staff were friendly welcoming and competent. The environment and location are great. The hotel has history and tradition.
