This is a great location. Staff were very helpful. The decor is dated. They need to get rid of the carpeting. The breakfast is good. It gets busy and the space is small but they have extra seating outside. It’s a good choice for the price you pay.

Great stay. Quiet space and very clean. Lovely view. The fridge did not keep food cold and the buffet style of breakfast limited my choices due to a good allergy.

Our pet-friendly room had a musty cigarette smell. After hours of airing out, it was clearly saturated in the room. The front desk was kind enough to move us to a much fresher room. It's nothing fancy, but decent for the price.

The room looked good from far, but was far from good. Very poor cleaning of the room. Lots of built up dirt and grime. Stains on the bedding. One of the worst beds we've ever slept in. Soft was an understatement. Room was full of spiders (acceptable) and insects. There were squished insects all over the walls and ceiling. Approximately 1/2" -1" space under the door leading to outside with no door sweep. This is why there were so many critters in the room. Lastly, the room had a pretty horrible smell to it. Almost like baby diapers.
