My stay at the hotel had both its pros and cons. The rooms, despite being clean and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, were a bit run-down and had roaches and flies bugs lingering around. On the bright side, the service was friendly and welcoming, a refreshing change from past negative experiences at other inns. The location was convenient for our event, although some areas of the room showed signs of wear with suspicious white stains and saliva. The dining experience was poor with old sticky buns and lukewarm diluted coffee, but the hotel did have comfortable beds and some nice amenities for a total of $304 on the card.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location was perfect for my needs, and the staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. However, the rooms were in very poor condition and had a strong smell of cigarettes which was quite off-putting. The dining options also left much to be desired, with subpar food quality and service.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean, and the linens seemed brand new, providing everything necessary for a comfortable stay. However, the overall condition was disappointing, as the rooms were tatty, dirty in the corners, and had a strong cigarette smell. The service was polite, but waking up with bug bites for $304 was unacceptable. The location was convenient, although some cleanliness issues were noted. The dining experience was poor, with old sticky buns and lukewarm coffee. The facilities were lacking, especially considering the high price paid.
