5 / 10·Nov 2026
The hotel is old style, but it has been very well maintained. Breakfast was great, Room was clean. There was a water bottle station on the 2nd floor. Free Parking on the property. We would stay here again. Only complaint was bathroom light and fan on motion detector and didn't always want a loud fan.
