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.

Quiet and basic

Quaint and historic. We stayed during the week and it was very quiet. The Tiki bar is only open on the weekends so we went downtown for a drink and dinner.
