Good (But dated) Hotel
The stay was ok. Some (small) things I noticed was the indoor thermometer to my room didn't appear to be connected to the unit in my room, so the unit had to be operated manually; the remote for the tv was wonky at best, and the upholstery in their breakfast area looked torn in places.

Policy is guaranteed 3:00 check in. My room wasn’t ready until 5:00. Third attempt to check in and it was ready. They said they would call when ready and never did. Had to keep going back to hotel. I had booked online and prepaid. Everyone was nice. But the room wasn’t ready! Why guarantee
