Pros:

The staff are so friendly, helpful, and genuine. I spoke with a few different staff members abs everyone was great. Professional and kind. I was a little unsure about the price but they made it worth staying at this hotel.

It was nice to have room lights and HVAC that are easy to use compared to some computerized systems.

Cons:

The price is a little high for the area and an older building. But the stay was excellent and was worth it in the end, and competitors have awful reviews, I think this was the right choice.

Pleasent.
Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

We were using the sofa sleeper, but had to go get the linens. Carrying it up along with luggage. Would have been great if the linen were in a bag or in the closet in the room.
