This is an older hotel that has been nicely updated in the lobby and dining areas. We enjoyed the continental breakfast in a very nicely decorated area that was quiet and away from the main entrance. Our room was clean and also updated, but the door that joined our room to the one beside us was not fitted well and the guests in that room, while probably not intending to be noisy... were. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows weren't the greatest.
