Room was very damp and most likely had mold. Shower curtain needs to be longer as it did not reach the tub and water gets all over the floor. Online photos are old, the hotel does not look the that. Hotel needs a complete overhaul. Again staff was very nice

The pictures and the rating for this property were misrepresented. The room was old and not very clean, the bed was uncomfortable, there were bugs in the room and the breakfast was just okay. If I had seen this property first, I would never have chosen to stay there. Don’t waste your money.

The property was convenient for the two night, but I would not give it even a 5 other than the friendliness of the staff. Our bathroom fan sounded like a jet engine taking off, the sink and shower leaked. The only good thing was it was quiet and convenient to our friends house. Would not recommend until a renovation is completed. When we mentioned items to front desk all they said was ‘it’s an old hotel’.
