The staff was amazing! We arrived way earlier than expected, but the front desk didn't bat an eye to call housekeeping and get a room ready for us and allow us an early check-in. The breakfast in the morning was great, hot and fresh! While it is an older building, it is well-maintained. Definately, will stay here the next time we are in town.
