It is clean, and the staff is nice, but it is a very old hotel. I’m pretty sure they want to show off the old charm, but they could update some of the furniture in the rooms and also the bathtubs. There was a king bed, two small side tables, and one very small round table with two chairs, one luggage rack and a few hangers in. Really nowhere for two people to put their clothes. Also, not enough outlets.

Nice Clean Old Hotel

I loved the old building and the look back in time. Everything was very clean and in working order. The hotel in itself was very warm, uncomfortably so, but the air conditioning in the room worked well, so we slept fine. Great location. No complaints.
