Pictures of the hotel look decent enough, but it is a pretty old hotel. Our room had a broken desk that collapsed when used, the bathroom door was literally splitting in half broken, mold in the bathroom, mysterious stains on the comforter. Bed was pretty comfortable but entire room felt dirty or falling apart

This hotel seemed nice but was very dated. The air fresheners they used were way too strong to the point of being difficult to breathe. Most of the room/bathroom was also quite dirty. The furniture had stains also. It made due for the night but we won’t be staying here again.

All good except for breakfast

Was excited to stay here. Loved the look of the place and the set up. Only disappointment was the breakfast - low selection and no hot foods - guessing it was because not many guests but wish we would have known. Breakfast is big deal for us.
