We have stayed here before and enjoyed it then so decided to stay again. The room was nice and clean but found hair in the tub drain. We love O’Briens but felt bad for the bar tender who was doing her best as a 1 person show. Unfortunately, this has been our experience twice now on a night where there are weddings booked. The food is always yummy. Love the sweet hostess who remembered us from 2 years ago when my sister had her Wedding guests stay here and the reception.

I personally loved everything. I definitely will return. My boyfriend was not happy with the tv however due to lack of guide & channel information, as well as it keep asking for allowance. So, my boyfriend rates it 4/5.

Room very clean and fresh--great for the price. Staff at desk did their job but not very friendly--no smiles or nice engagement with customer. Pulled in front to get suitcase out but truck blocking the sidewalk and cones set up so could not pull through the area. Had to carefully make a three point turn to find other place to pull over and get out suitcase. Restaurant very accommodating and decent.
