Overall it’s a great place for the price. The location, room, food and bar were good.
The front desk worker was a little rough and not very intelligent for sure.
Tough to get luggage into the room long walk.
What an absolute treat!! I booked this hotel because it was close to my friend’s house who I was coming to visit and it’s also advertised as pet friendly. Looking through the photos, I thought it looked nice and I was surprised that each guest room had a patio or balcony. When we arrived, the place was beautifully lit up and we could hear live music playing. Check in was very easy. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute that we spent there. The 50’s diner was perfect for breakfast and the bar was perfect for a night cap. All the people that work there are very nice. We will return!!
The room was really spacious and super clean, with heat that worked. Unfortunately, check-in didn't go so well. There was a sign on the door that the attendant would be back in 15 minutes. We had to sit in the car for half an hour waiting. The next morning, breakfast was not available. The cafe was not open, so we had to drive elsewhere to have breakfast.
The staff at the Office, Restaurant and Bar were exceptionally friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant! This place is pet-friendly, but the out door pet spaces should be improved.
The breakfast in the restaurant was so delicious, but NOT free! The restaurant has high quality food and choices! The bar has a wide variety of drinks and music on the week ends.
