The room was nice and clean. Loved the fan mounted on the wall. It is an older hotel but the paint was fresh and looked good. Would have liked a better quality mattress, soap and shampoo. Would have also liked a coffee maker in the room.

Parking was great! Staff were friendly from start to finish! AC wasn’t initially on but that is to be expected and worked perfectly! Only knock I had is no coffee maker, but the fridge and microwave more than made up for it!

Look, the building is old and does need more attention and maintenance. The room we had was very clean and had everything needed. Drapes need attention but they did the job. Let’s talk about the mattress…….cheap and was terrible and sheets did not fit and would not stay on the thin mattress. Please invest in a good mattress and sheets, that would make a world of difference in everyone’s opinion of this place. It would help if you provided a coffee pot in the rooms so us “early birds” don’t have to wait until 8 am to get a cup of coffee.
