The hotel had character which is why we chose it. Bed's comfy too. All in all no real complaints. However, we did get a coupon for breakfast. Breakfast for 2 came to 65$. Thats quite a bit. When coupon was applied it was still approx 35$. Not sure it was worth it. 8$ for 2 coffee is a bit much. Other than that, all was ok.
