The staff were really nice. Restaurant great. That is where it ends. This is a 1960-70 ear no money spent in the rooms. I had a double bed that was I think 1970 smelly old duvets. No real heater in the room a little noisy panel thing that really down nothing. Cold shower crap pressure. I don’t call it a hotel. It is a back packers at best

Updated bathroom, but I swear that the bed is from the 1980’s. The constant chirping from the crossing signal outside the window added much-needed ambiance. The staff were lovely and very helpful.
