Though the hotel is a little older the rooms and common areas are impressive clean and well cared for. The staff was very nice to work with. Some of the decor is a little dated but again very well maintained. Weathers in early spring so exterior landscaping could use some attention but nothing bad. Another good stay at this property. Thank you!
