When I arrived there was nobody staffing the front desk. I needed to wait for quite a while before anyone appeared. The restaurant closed early due to a lack of customers. The staff was willing to provide a salad and gave me 30 minutes from the time of ordering to leave. She did, however, allow me to take my wine glass to my room which was greatly appreciated at $20 per glass. The room had its curtains drawn because there were extraordinarily bright lights shining into the room all night. The windows could not open. I had hoped for a wonderful hotel experience and was disappointed to have a mediocre one instead.

Seems it’s on its way out as the TV was antenna only. I was there in the off season but bathroom fans and such were old and in need of update or repair.

Hotel is dated, there are no darkening blinds for the windows. I was kept up till 2am due to the loud music from the bar attached to the hotel. Had to park offsite and pay double parking costs due to the hotel parking area being overtaken by the public. My worst hotel experience ever, at least there were no bed bug.

I thought this hotel was lovely. It is older, but has been tastefully renovated throughout the years. The staff is professional and polite and the manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The included breakfast was a bonus! The location is great but the only downside is that parking was a challenge to find at times. Overall a great stay!
