"The room was great, the views were spectacular and the staff was excellent. The breakfast buffet did not have breakfast meats or eggs but it did have great choices for cereal, pastries, toaster type foods like bagels, yogurt and microwave grits and oatmeal. Also, of course, juices and coffee."

"The hotel is old, could use paid job on room doors and interior rooms. Breakfast consisted of cereal, 2 tiny frozen breakfast sausage sandwiches you microwave, packaged blueberry muffins, coffee was good. No elevator so we used stairs to second floor. On the stairwell was a garbage can filled to the rim both nights we were there. No one emptied it. The room was quiet, beds were comfortable. I guess that’s what really matters. We did drive into town because it was too far to walk."
