Seems to be an older hotel that has been partially updated. In our room, the walls/paint and furniture were nice but the sink and bathroom areas were worn. Buckets in the hallways to catch drips (heat/cooling system?). Clean overall and good breakfast. Decent one-night stay for the price.

Hotel was very clean with exception of the area rug in front lobby in front of check in counter. It was very soiled and stained. The room was very clean, as well as all other areas. The staff were friendly and seemed happy to work there which isn't always the case. Breakfast was hot, plenty of options, very nice dining area. The bed was very comfortable. I would stay again, but please shampoo that rug!

Our experience at this property was exceptional in all aspects. No complaints whatsoever! It was quiet, clean, well furnished, comfortable, all TV channels available, fridge, microwave, convenient power outlets and USB ports, hair dryer, ironing board and iron, coffee maker and more. Friendly and helpful staff, but one of the most impressive benefits, other than reasonable cost, was the exceptional included breakfast! Mary provided a variety and quality of choices such as we have never seen before! Kudos to all.
