The front desk was very helpful. I'm so sorry that I forgot her name but she went out of the way to make sure I was able to check in early. As far as the upkeep of the hotel -- it needs some major remodeling.

The hotel was older but the room was ok with good beds. The first room had no plug in the sink and the second room could have used some cleaning of the lights above the bathroom sink looked like black mold Inside the fixture and there were no exhaust fans in the bathrooms. The hotel was located close to downtown so you could walk to nice restaurants. Overall the hotel was ok for the price point. No breakfast was available

We have been using this hotel for many years. The rooms are always clean and the staff helpful. It is still a little strange checking in to a kiosk. No one really at the desk. Have to call the attendant or see a staff member.

We were in town for a wedding and only stayed one night. The check in was quick and the people were friendly. The elevator was a bit clunky, but the room was clean. We didn't notice any weird or unusual odors. The beds were comfortable. It served us well and we would stay again.
