10/10 Excellent
"For an old hotel, it is well maintained. A restaurant and pool in the area of the hotel make it seem you are on a vacation out of Iowa. We had a wheelchair accessible room that smelled like mold but was very large and comfortable. If staff didn't have the answer, they kept asking until they did. Happened twice. Definitely recommend. Don't forget the vinyl corner!"
