When every other hotel gouged their rates for the graduation in town, they stayed decent on their rate. Always a reliable location to stay when we visit family. Close to everything. Even with the trains behind the hotel it’s quiet.

For the price it was ok. Beds were clean. However we checked in with 4 adults 1 child in a suite with 3 beds, 2 had linens, there was only 2 towels. Luckily we had beach towels and extra blankets for the child. Front desk was very friendly and breakfast was on par with other hotels. 1 night we could be ok.

There was a large bloodstain on the sheets. I noticed the front desk and was informed the cleaning staff was gone, so he gave me a towel to cover it. I stayed 3 nights, the room was never cleaned. It’s an old musty hotel, avoid it.
