Stayed here years ago. The rooms haven't changed much. The rooms are pretty standard, but the lobby, staff and food are all better than most hotels. Maybe a little old school, but I love the look of the hotel. The bed was really comfortable. The event banquet food has always been wonderful. They can handle the volume of plates without affecting the appeal. Great work!

We stay here every time we visit and it is always a good experience. Cherry on top is they allow dogs which is a huge help because there are not many hotels in this are much less ones that allow pets. It's always clean and a good experience. Just a warning though, the pool and hot tub always has an excess anoint of chlorine but the kids love swimming here!

Restaurant onsite was delicious, staff were welcoming and willing to answer any questions that may come up. Hotel rooms are newer but still a little outdated and there is a strong smell of "old" building in the hallways.
