Room was clean and beds were reasonably comfortable, but hotel is old-fashioned single story and somewhat rundown. Rooms are also very dark, even with all available lights on.

Read some reviews before I left on this business trip, I should have believed what I read. This place is horrible, dirty & not worth the money.

But the interior has been totally renovated , top of the line.The view from the rooms on the back, was breathtaking. The staff was helpful and nice and the restaurant was one of the best places to eat in the area, especially the specials.... More
