Pass on this one

Staff was nice, but this place , was definitely historic. Stick to what you know, it smelt like weed and bed was uncomfortable. We won’t be going back.

The old section is run down. It was noisy and smelled. The room was very small. I felt like it was a Motel “6”. On the sight it showed the newer rooms, but we got something very different. False advertisement. Bait and switch! Not happy. Won’t stay there again.
