Our stay was very nice. The hotel was clean and spacious. The location was great. The breakfast was just okay. The eggs and bacon were good but the selection was poor. It did offer both hot and cold food and was more than expected for a "continental breakfast ".

The rooms are very old and dirty. (Lobby is bright and clean). Towels thread bare with visible dirt when held to light. Smelly stuffy room. Thermostat missing from wall. Visible dust on all edges of stained old carpet. Several areas of mold/mildew on the walls and ceiling in the bathroom. Spiderwebs visible in the bathroom. Front desk somewhat friendly. Breakfast area clean.

Great value for the price as well as reasonable charge for our dog. Walls are a bit thin so if you’re a light sleeper it could be a problem. Good breakfast.

Room was small but comfortable and clean. Ac worked well, good water pressure in the shower and it was in a good location, not too far away from everywhere we needed to be for a family event. Really wish there was a coffee pot in the room. Most hotels are removing them (I’m assuming due to theft) and it’s inconvenient to always need to go to another section of hotel when needing hot water or coffee.
