We thought their upgrades to the room had been carried out with taste. All staff in all areas where great and friendly. The bar manager was very professional and we thought went out of her way to help. Other items that might help improve. Handle in shower cubicle, would help a person with mobility problems. Repair wheel chair ramp.

Nice spacious room, comfortable but feeling a bit dated, very close to the custom steakhouse to stroll down for the best steak in town so I’ll definitely be back.

One night stay, after a long day.

Quaint room, and we were totally beat after driving all day. Was sad we missed out on the restaurant, but we settled in and hot shower + right to sleep. Nice bed, and good little fridge to keep our road snacks for the next day. My only qualm about this place is we paid for an Executive room, and the photos online are -quite- stretched. It's a very - small room. And there is *No, soundproofing - so whoever had the cart of dishes at 6am. Thanks for that. I'd stay here again because the front desk staff were so nice! and it's a convenient location. Good amount of Parking too. Right in front of the Building. Not much open late at night, if you're hungry. But it's a nice place for a stopover or a weekend roadtrip in our book.
