Nice and clean hotel, the gentleman that checked me in wasn’t friendly. But the gal that checked me out the next morning was friendly and happy to help me. The wifi didn’t reach my room, but not a huge deal. Everything else was great!

Great service, Lovely staff. Rooms were clean bed was comfy, just the headboard of the bed was a bit dirty, the leather of the headboard was starting to peel but nothing major. Excellent food could have been a bit hotter. No problem at all with a late check out when asked the morning before. Excellent location. Very happy couple :)
