Room was warm and clean; the bed and pillows were very comfortable. (We stayed in the winter) The staff were courteous and the dining area was clean with breakfast well stocked. We had requested a quiet room on the third floor and the staff were happy to accommodate this. The hotel is older but well kept. If you are traveling on a budget, this is all you need!

Stephanie S

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was great, clean room, nice amenities. $200 will be held on hold from your bank or credit card account as a deposit upon check in. It will NOT be reversed upon checkout as was told by front desk. “Oh yeah, it’ll go right back there tomorrow when you check out!”. Not just a card on file for incidentals. I think this should be more clear. It wasn’t an issue for me, but people should be aware of how this ACTUALLY works. Honesty goes a long ways. While the room and everything else was great, there was a great degree of mistrust caused.
