The staff was great. Location was good and the pool was nice. Downside was our room. The carpets were very dirty in our dog room. It kinda grossed me out. But it was fine. We enjoyed ourselves.

This place is old. The lobby is true to the building's history and I imagine this is what other people like about it, too.The renovations have made the room nicer. Balconies need work. Balcony door curtain needs to be longer. Didn't try anything else. My second stopover at the inn because it's got a nice vibe.

Comfortable and convenient. It’s an old property and it shows. The staff is top notch. One of the wash basin had a stench coming from it in room #280. Pillows need to be changed as they are no longer usable. Beds are great. Easy parking. Great pool. Plenty of dining options around.

The room is huge, clean, and quiet. They have a heated pool and a jacuzzi, even in November, you can enjoy. I wish the hotel provided a microwave because my kid is very picky, and he only eats pizza. We enjoyed the hotel a lot.
