Pros:

Car parking was available at back of hotel. Breakfast was of very good quality. Staff very friendly and helpful. We got a room upgrade for $10 a night. Big room and bathroom, which were very clean.

Cons:

The hallways were carpet on top of old wooden floors, of which were very rickety and uneven under foot. People coming home late, were very loud walking by. Steet noice late at night was loud as well.
