We have stayed here many times. This time was the first time disappointed in the breakfast. We stayed 4 nights, first morning breakfast was well supplied. But the next day was less and the following day was even less. No eggs, no milk no cottage cheese. Each day was getting slim pickens. (but they did go buy a half gallon of milk) The thing is it was the middle of the week not many people there. So they need to plan much better. Our room was very clean as well as the rest of the hotel. The lady at the desk (Char) was very friendly and helpful. She talked with the customers.

Big room, however, never updated and no USB ports or any modern conveniences. Continental breakfast was typical continental breakfast, but was as expected. Darcy was very loud till closing time. The rooms are like a maze to try to find and get to the lobby or the breakfast area. However, not a lot of other options in the area.

The area around the hotel looked safe. They needed grab bars in showers. The tub was slippery with nothing to hold on to. The room looked clean, but one bed was wet and smelled, and could or would not be used. The bathroom also smelled of urine.

Stayed in a suite. Listed a hot tub but it really was a jacuzzi that was in disrepair. The water pump mot was so loud you could not stand to use it No air conditioning in the bedroom just two portable fans. Really, no air in the bedroom. A window air conditioner in the other area. All said it was clean and good maid service. Very old hotel. Very dated. Needs a major face lift. I would not recommend.
