Lisa Aug 22, 2025 11:19:54 PM
Summary: The hotel struggled with the air conditioning. My mom‘s TV didn’t work. But I don’t rate hotels necessarily on their problems. I write on how they handle the problems with their customers. Their staff was outstanding in getting the problems solved, people moved, credited our room, etc., SoI would encourage anyone to stay here and I stay here often.

Summary: The Hotel was cute, but in some need of repairs. Railings in elevator missing and some general maintenance issues. My room (deluxe room) had issue with AC and room was hot - 82 degrees. They could not fix it & gave me two box fans. Wasn’t ideal. Breakfast restaurant/coffee shop is great.
