The hotel is old and needs renovation. The restroom inside our room has a leak. Left the socks on the floor beside the outside wall of the restroom beside my bed.. The following morning it’s soaked! My husband wondered how it happened? And so when I touched the wall.. yes.. it’s leaking.. Bummer. Even so, the people, the staff are all remarkably friendly! That’s what makes up to all the mishaps. Though if I could ask the management to please check the rooms and kindly invest to repair what is due. Your hotel is in a very good area.. Love it and the guests will choose to come back here. The service is amazing already, match it with managing the property better. Thankful for the staffs for great service!

Perfect location and wonderful staff

Staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment the door opened. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in and they were kind enough to give us our parking sticker so that we could walk and enjoy town for a few hours. The rooms were clean and appeared to be recently updated. We were there during the week, so it was pretty quiet. Yes, there is construction next door, but hey, that’s life. My teens loved the pool - they keep it at a constant 72 and is in a covered building outside which was nice. Much Better than those places that have indoor pools that is loud and echoes with every sound.

I loved that it was close to everything and the indoor pool was amazing (my son loved it). However at midnight we had someone almost walk into our room, there was an error with the paperwork. We did get a $25 gift card for the misunderstanding. Besides that we enjoyed where we stayed!
