The staff was very nice, but the room was bordering on terrible. The chair to the desk was broken, the bed was so lumpy and bumpy it was almost funny, the sheets were stained, the bathroom was a disaster! I would never stay here again.

The listing undersold the view! Said the room had "city views". Didn't mention that the city had a lake in it, which we looked directly out on. Obviously that only worked because we were on the right side of the building and a ways up. It was an easy walk to several nearby restaurants, and of course, the lake.

Great hotel for the price. Room was good; common areas a bit run down and dated. Felt a little sketchy around the hotel, but for the price it was a win.

Beginning to show its age, clean, great location
Facility is beginning to show its age. Wall behind toilet had peeling paint, cracked bath tub, wall in bedroom had red splash stains (originally thought was blood, but trying to clean it, I believe now is nail polish). Facility was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Parking lot was large enough to handle our F150, and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Several homeless on streets, but had a fun stay.

The staff was. Great. Theey were helpful as they could be. The ac didnt work in the room for 2 days, sliding door only allowed 2 inches to be open, so limited fresh air. Microwave in room was very dirty, left over from last guest. Facilty is an old historical and does have alot of historical pictures . As a whole it could use some modifications. Room door didnt seem very secure at all. Wont stay there again.
