Had no idea what to expect…..it’s quite nice.

Old fashioned place that is well run. It definitely not new. People that work there seem to like their jobs, imagine that. Whoever manages this place knows what they are doing. Breakfast was different but really good. We didn’t know what to expect and were more than pleasantly surprised with the entire operation…….

PROs: location was great; price of room was reasonable; all staff I interacted with were very nice; ample parking; offered transportation to downtown. CONs: outdated hotel. Other notes: didn’t realize they allowed pets, next door had a dog who barked constantly; people above us were pounding and fighting loudly the night we stayed over.

Breakfast is really great and the shuttle is an amenity really appreciated given that the hotel is a bit of a long walk to the historic district. Rooms non-renovated (standard room) is basic. Lacks storage space for luggage. Lacks towel shelving or towel holders for some strange reason - no where to hang used towels. Fridge and microwave both good. Only serious issue is walls very thin. Could hear neighbours nightly. Not a make or break but should know this since hotel is older. If returned would book an upgraded room simply for a bit more comfort and storage.
