4/10 Fair

Hotel is somewhat tired and run down. Rooms were very dated, extremely dark and muggy in the hallways. Breakfast was good value, $10 per guest seems fair based off the selection of food. Parking is also a plus, $10 per night for guests. Not a destination for more than a night.

The staff is very helpful and pleasant. Most importantly, the managers addressed issues, if and when they came up, promptly and effectively. The breakfast is a nice feature: good choices and good price.
