Pros:

Staff was very pleasant.

Cons:

Oh my gosh! Room serviced only every 3 days???!!! Our room was NEVER serviced. We had to ask for towels twice; the first time they were just handed us off a trolley. Had to put our trash outside the door so it would be emptied. And after all that a tip was expected for the person "servicing" our room??!!!
BIG FAT "0" for room service!!

A good place to stay several nights.
Pros:

The breakfast was not that good. Not much food and didn’t taste good. We decided to go to a restaurant in town for breakfast

Cons:

The biscuits were delicious but the gravy was just like a can gravy.

Satisfied Customer
Pros:

This hotel had a very homey feeling, loved the decor. I also loved being on the 1st floor.

Cons:

The pillows were not firm enough for my husband but his pilloq iis like a brick. He also mentioned that when the people above us flushed their toilet, there was a banging noise in the pipes.
