The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The property contains an amazing 600 year-old oak tree (13 feet in circumference); however, the grounds around it are not kept to the standard this monument deserves.

Check in was easy. Front desk staff very friendly and quick! Room was clean. Hotel is in need of renovations as there were several areas of the room that look as though quick repairs had been done but for the price and location it was great. There was a chair in the room the could use replacing as it was clean but stained.

If you could find a better place to do it

Tour buses during the day and peacocks at all times of the night make it for a very loud hotel. The interior rooms has been renovated, but the outside of the hotel is disgusting and when you look, there is rust and everything inside the room as well.

It's a good little motel for the price. Convenient walking distance to nearby attractions and shopping. The rooms apparently have new flooring, which is in stark contrast to the very old and battered furniture. Still, the rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast is average, with several hot items and your usual continental offerings.
