Check In was smooth and lobby was beautiful. Room was especially clean even though the furniture seemed dated. Only thing missing was any kind of guide / booklet with tv channel guide, checkout times, room service options, local guides ect.

This is an old hotel that has not been renovated. But it’s got a beautiful pool and dog exercise patio and a great brunch and the ambience of an old hotel. The reception could’ve been a little bit more friendly but other than that everything was OK. the parking is free and plenty. There is a Jack in the Box and pantry right across the street for late night food there’s no room service. And of our closes a little too early at 9:30 but they did have a wonderful Yamaha piano and I played it and that was nice. My dogs enjoyed that patio so much.

I enjoyed my stay here! Read mixed reviews about the rooms. Personally, i didnt have a problem with them. They are definitely original and outdated, but not in a bad way. Reminded me of a an old studio apartment. Spacious room, walk in closet and very high ceilings. The hotel itself has a lot to see! From their lounge area to the courtyard outside. I was their during holiday season. Lots of beautiful decorations! Its definitely a must see.
