The staff were amazing and super nice throughout our stay. Breakfast was good it was your standard hotel breakfast. Rooms were not good from the dirty floor to the peeling ceiling and mold. It worked for this trip but I wouldn’t stay there again.

This place gets an 8.8 on Expedia. I don't understand how it gets this type of rating. It wasn't bad but doesn't deserve this type of rating. This is equal to a BW. 7 is realistic.

We stayed in the winter so we can't speak to the amenities. But we were very happy with our room, it was really nice and felt updated, especially the bathroom. Good breakfast options as well. We would love to come back in the summer again!
