It was a nice clean place to stay after shutting down our property for the winter. The staff was nice and they had a nice convenient breakfast the next morning. You definitely have to be able to walk flights of steps.

This is an old property in desperate need of updating. Things seems clean enough, but many things in the room were aged and in disrepair. The biggest concern was that when we arrived (after 9pm) there hadn’t been any heat turned in in the room. Considering it Was just above freezing outside, this meant it took a while before the room was comfortable.

For a hotel of this size and capacity I expected a lot of noise, I was surprised to find the place quiet and felt safe. the location is very convenient to dining and shopping. The staff was exceptionally gracious and helpful.
