The hotel was exactly what we needed. The elevator was broken but that wasn’t a big problem for us. It might have been for some guests who were also on the third floor.

Bit of a strange hotel. I didn’t get the room I had booked and the hotel wasn’t very helpful at sorting this out refunding the difference. Rooms have noisy old AC systems and feel a bit like an 80’s Hilton room. Staff are pleasant

The location is great with stores and dining within walking distance. The staff was friendly and responsive. The inn itself is showing a little wear but is being worked on, e.g., elevator not in use but is being upgraded. Overall, a great place to stay and we will continue to return here when we stay in the area.
