"I have mixed feelings about my stay. On the positive side, the hotel staff were fantasticโ€”extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful from check-in to check-out. Their great hospitality was definitely the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the room itself made it very difficult to get a good nightโ€™s rest: Pillows: The pillows were really bad qualityโ€”extremely hard, stiff, and uncomfortable, offering no real comfort for sleeping. AC Unit: The air conditioner fan was exceedingly loud, cycling on and off with a harsh rattle that repeatedly woke me up. Street Noise: The room lacked proper soundproofing, so street noise from outside filtered right through the windows throughout the night."

What stood out the most was the service. The worker at the front desk was so incredibly professional and helpful. She was the best hotel worker Iโ€™ve ever encountered. She provided so much information that we didnโ€™t have a single question. It kind of felt like we were stepping back in time and staying at an old inn. I would stay again. Great experience!"
