The property has 3 buildings, with elevators available in the main building. This was helpful aa we were bicycle touring. There was a cute covered patio area outside the main building, but it was hard to enjoy as it seemed dirty and the trash bins were full.

Think twice, read reviews

The sink drain pipe leaked on the floor so I had to use my limited towels for that. The WiFi did not work and the representative at the counter “did not know how the system worked”. The ice machine was broken so I had to walk across the street and upstairs for ice. The hot tub was broken as well. The place was basically a rundown property that was barely habitable. Would not recommended.

Please don't come to that hotel late.

Wasn't able to get inside the hotel. Even the hotel confirmed my booking the lobby was closed. I called the number which was listed on the paper attached to the lobby door. The manager told me that he is not willing to come to the hotel and give me the key from my room. I had to book another hotel

Good place for a family to stay

Nothing fancy, but the room was clean and beds comfortable, and front desk staff were friendly. The location is quiet and in walking distance of downtown. We stayed in a family suite. The TV in the second room wasn't able to show anything and the lamp in the corner of the main room wasn't working (same room and same issues as last time), but these were minor issues.
