My only complaint is that I was required to put down a $50.00 “security” deposit when I had prepaid for my stay. This STILL has not been refunded to my credit card - 6 days later.

Staff was helpful and personally showed me to my room. Room smelled nice and was very clean. It is ready for a makeover refresh. Appreciated the continental breakfast, but it was on the lighter side. All in all I would stay again.

The beds are luxurious and property is clean and well-maintained. The only negative was a lack of hot water in both the shower and the sink. Tried at various times but hot water never got any warmer than tepid or lukewarm, perhaps because the room was at the far end of the property.

For an older property it was very clean and cute. The toilet broke and ran all night and we could hear every car and person walk by the room. Breakfast was small but plentiful

Pictures weren't accurate, noisy, guests take up more than one parking space, front reception help not very friendly or inviting at all. I did go get coffee from the breakfast area and I was glad they had that and the staff in there was very nice. Very outdated.
