Staff was friendly and pleasant as well as professional. Room including bathroom very clean and comfortable. In house dining was a big plus - food, service excellent, and reasonably priced. Breakfast was superb, only fault was the sausage and potatoes could have been warmer. Overall, this is a great place to stay.

While the room was clean, it was in disrepair. The floors sloped, bathroom tile had huge gaps in the grout and caulk, furnishings were mismatched and there was a general air of age and neglect.

Great mattress and pillows. The room was quiet, good size. It is old but the condition of the space is good and well kept. Wishing the gym had some weights and water. Breakfast was good. We were there for 2 nights, the breakfast was the same. Not a fan of the breakfast sausages, texture was like a hotdog. Staff were very kind.

Unfortunately, my review is too long to be placed here, so here's the TL;DR version: - Dead - and living - bugs in the room in various places - Other people's hair and body lint in the bed, bathroom and shower - Ancient decor that desperately needs an update - Filthy ceiling vents and behind furniture - Only the most obviously-visible places were cleaned (barely) + Front desk staff was amazing (Fred) Full Review on Google called "The Good, the bug and the Ugly"
dirty shower (and this was actually on our second round of attempting to clean it)
One of a few random bugs (dead or alive) we found in two rooms
