A fine place to stay
We had a wedding reception here 15 years ago. The wall paper and other superficial things have been updated but the overall hotel feels dated. Small rooms and small bathroom. Probably many other better options for the price.

This was such a bad experience! The ceiling in our bathroom was falling inside the room. We had bugs (moths/gnats, etc.) flying around in our room. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy and flat. When we asked if we could our room credited, they said they could not do that since we booked through Expedia.
