The property was nice, however, there was construction going on behind the property so that was not great to try and sit out ono the patio and enjoy outside with the dirt and construction going on behind the hotel.

Friendly front desk staff, quick check in. Room was very clean but did have a strange damp feel about it. Our room door didn’t lock the entire time we were there- as in, we didn’t need a key to enter our room so that was concerning. We did alert the front desk who said they would “look into it”. Breakfast was not great- not many choices and the eggs were cold all three mornings. Overall it was a nice hotel and the cleanliness was very much appreciated
