Hotel is definitely outdated in the rooms. Hotel itself outside of the rooms was fine. Air temperature was not contestant at all throughout the night and the linens being clean was questionable. The air vents needed a major cleaning as well. Overall it was okay just for us to lay our head for the night and the terrace was a nice touch for having drinks before going out. The bathroom was super spacious also.

Old fashioned, in a good way

I had to attend some meetings outside and also work in my room for several hours. I found my room extremely comfortable, roomy and well appointed. I was able to work and rest just fine.

The room was comfortable, and we loved the location! The only thing is that when our toilet clogged, the staff that came in to fix it left “stuff” in the toilet after she unclogged it. Don’t know why she did that.

Nice hotel

We had one of the new eclectic rooms and it was great. Nice to have coffee in the lobby at all times. It would be helpful for front desk to have brochures or walking maps of the area.
