Very good experience overall. Yes, it is a little dated but it’s clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable. Our only complaint was the people in the room next to us left their dog in the room when they left. The poor dog was distressed and howled mournfully while they were gone. Not the hotels fault. We will happily return again, hopefully without the sad dog next door.
