Hotel is in a great location and secured parking for our rental car. Overall it's a nice hotel and friendly staff. The only complaint we had was that we had to take an elevator up only to have to take our suitcases by hand down a large flight of stairs.

This Hotel is older and it just has a wonderfully comfortable feel to it. It was beautiful, our room was spacious, we had a wonderful stay. Loved it!

Quirky hotel badly in need of an update. WiFi and TV are awful, only one outlet near the beds.The staff weren't rude, just not very friendly. Great location though
Ronald, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was a bit old and run down but clean enough and comfortable, location is fantastic. My only complaint is we didn’t realize there was a night club at the property and on Saturday night there was very loud music until 3am so bare this in mind if you’re going over a weekend
