The hotel sent me a text to pre-register, which I did and asked me scan in my driver lic and cc info. When I arrived at 1pm they only had 1 room. Front desk had given my other room away it took over an hour to resolve and it was not pleasant after a 5 hour drive. Restaurant and bar was closed and my family just wanted to go to bed. This was all planned well ahead this experience was u professional and handled inappropriately. Front desk actually asked the man they checked into my room to get out ?? Unbelievable

The hotel staff is very friendly and very accommodating, room cleanliness was excellent. As you expect from an older building some parts are worn and a small elevator. The room I was in had windows that only let in light but had no view. For those there for work, excellent WiFi! I would stay again!

Not a fan of this hotel - paint chipping all over the room, shower water wouldn’t turn off fully & the shower handle fell off. Rooms are horribly decorated & it didn’t feel very clean. No coffee mugs in the room either but coffee pods.
