An older hotel that has been given an overhaul and a new lease on life. Very well done and clean, a nice courtyard with pool and fireplace for chilly nights. We only stayed 1 night but would definitely recommend. Room was clean and staff were kind and efficient.

Room was nice, roomy. Cookies served each night for an hour. Breakfast was sketchy. We arrived an hour before serving ended but they were out of several options. Coffee was horrid; just mildly flavored hot water. We went elsewhere for coffee.

Room was in good condition. Staff (Assistant Manager) was not very pleasant at the front desk. House keeping was okay. I asked for towels and they told me “ we didn’t bring that up with us” and proceeded to walk out after I asked for sheets and towels at the front.

Thought it was a brand new hotel from description, but it’s remodeled. The room itself was very nice. The noise level was pretty bad. I also did not receive a receipt was told I didn’t need one. Also the young lady that I gave my key to had on a jacket with a hood that she had pulled over her head. I don’t think that was very professional.
