Thank you for putting a notice on the juice dispenser about the juices containing Stevia, a game changing. Rooms could be a little more soundproof. Rooms were comfortable for our needs.

Good stay. Better maintenance?
Overall, good stay. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was wonderful. Beds were comfy. Seems like a very old hotel that needs better maintenance. No hook to hang towels on. Stained carpet. Rusting fixtures in restroom. TV…terrible! Never could watch a whole show as it just skips in and out. Restarted several times, never solved it. Overall, ok stay but some details could be addressed.

The staff was friendly but the building is older and could use some work. Our tv did not work and we were given a new remote and it still did not work. Beds were clean and comfortable.
