Pros:

Staff friendliness was top tier despite them being so busy. The hotel location was very good. Room was clean and bigger than expected, which was nice. It is an older hotel, so was a bit wary at first. Despite age & maybe some things needing update, this was a good place to stay. I'd definitely stay here again!

Cons:

The iron did not work properly and stained an article of clothing I was ironing. Poor lighting in the room and the lights near/on the headboards wouldn't turn off, so had to sleep with those on.

Wouldn’t go back.
Pros:

Good location and the staff was friendly

Cons:

The room was okay but the rest of the place was filthy. The carpets in the hallways were all covered in stains and dirt and look like they haven’t been cleaned or vacuumed in a year. The hallway outside my room specifically was very humid and smelled very musty and like mildew. I used to stay here every yeah back when it was the Red Lion and never had these issues. It has gone downhill tremendously in the last year.
