The Stay

It was great. We walked to the center of town. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I just have one suggestion if they ever do a remodel the little wall between the toilet and the sink needs to be moved over so there is more room when the toilet is being used.

Joanne

It was okay, but for the price we paid for a family suite, the room was not laid out well as there was a sink in one room with no bathroom and the king size bedroom was smaller and a huge closet that was wreaking mold made this intolerable for me to sleep in. It felt like a nice room for the age of it though. (Very old) I wouldn’t stay again in this room due to the mold issue. And the AC kept cutting out, as if it were governed by temp set by the hotel. Would not go below 70. I’m not sure it came down to 70 honestly.
