"We stayed here for a local staycation and had a mixed but overall decent experience. We originally booked the standard queen room, but it felt more like a full-sized bed—not ideal for two people.

"The location is excellent and the second floor patio has a great view. This old hotel has some beautiful details like tile floors and nice tile work in the bathroom. However, it’s clear they are relying on the location to sell the place and not bothering much with upkeep and service. Check-in was frustrating.
