First look, the hotel looks dated but the rooms have been renovated nicely! They have everything you can think of available to you. The breakfast provided in the morning was phenomenal! Warm and cold foods with fresh fruit. Beds were decently comfortable, the only downside is if you have mobility issues, there are quite a few stairs around the property and no elevator. It’s so close to restaurants and downtown! I loved it! Recommendation for a restaurant - pilot around the corner was delicious!

Nice place

The hotel and the people were really nice, but the room is too dark and not very well isolated (too much noise).

The property definitely needs an upgrade. As it is quite tired and worn. The room, which we had. It was a suite in my view should’ve had at least some sort of a kitchenette, but instead had only a small drink fridge.

This property is a glorified motel. Most rooms are only accessible from the outside which means you’re sleeping in the parking lot. We had to keep the blinds closed at all times because of this. The room is not soundproof, we could hear the suite above us walking around at all hours. The bathroom is no bigger than a postage stamp. I was afraid of knocking something down the toilet because there was no space. The bathroom also felt unclean. The shower is for a short person. The towels were threadbare and ripped on the edges. The room is renovated to seem modern except the bathroom. I wouldn’t stay there again.
