Rooms although older were clean with fairly good upkeep, the staff was amazing from check in to the ground/cleaning staff, to the restaurant although they do need to throw a few home fries onto their bacon and eggs to actually make it filling. Rooms were very comfortable, with nice furniture. Throughly enjoyed our stay
