Amazing staff! Very kind and approachable. One fellow was leaving work for the day and took the time to help my husband find parking. The lady that helped us check in walked me to our room to ensure that I found it alright while my husband parked the car. Everyone was lovely and beyond kind. Very clean room, I didn’t want to leave.

Lovely Hotel, Exceptional Breakfast

Lovely, older hotel with a great vintage vibe but modern amenities. Lots of parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable. Our stay included breakfast which was exceptional, with a huge abundance of choices. Had dinner at the Hotel and food was fresh and tasty. Overall a wonderful stay and would stay again. May not be the optimal choice for those with mobility issues as there are lots of random stairs throughout the property. Also the walk into downtown is a long way.
