The Bad
While the majority of recent reviews read for this report were positive, there were a few complaints found in the reviews.
A few guests mentioned that the hotel was somewhat dated, although several acknowledged ongoing upkeep and renovations and one guest pointed out that his bathroom was updated and a nice surprise for the age of the hotel.

A couple of guests felt the breakfast was too basic and occasionally a guest would complain about being given a room that had not been thoroughly cleaned or serviced from prior guests.
