Hotel room and building was fine. Included breakfast was very good. But we stayed there because the pool looked nice and there were so many dead floating winged ants in the pool it was almost unusable. We reported a flying ant infestation in one of the pool skimmers to the front desk and to their credit somebody took care of it within 24 hrs, but that didn’t reduce the number of dead floaters in the pool, which we found unfortunate. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Love this retro hotel and have stayed here a few other times. Since my last visit the hotel conditions have not been kept up to date. The lobby, restaurant and bar are in fine condition, but the room was in need of repairs and updating.
