Okay
Older building, friendly staff. Blinds are light filtering not room darkening. Breakfast was typical but tables were not kept clean.

Average stay
The room we got was spacious and included a desk and a small sitting area; it was decorated in an old country style.
The breakfast was limited.

The hotel is getting old. It was clean enough, but shows signs of wear.

Stayed for 2 nights in July and we had a fabulous stay! Hotel has the best location…. Right in town with a beautiful park by the river and all the restaurants right there. Staff was lovely and helpful. Breakfast was good and a nice touch. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Will definitely return!
