The hotel was clean, quiet, and staff was courteous. Tub had a bit or rust around the drain, but wasn’t too bad. Coming in from a hot day, the room was cool… in fact it was frigid. Temp was set on 63°, so it took about an hourish to get it warmed up to comfortable temperature. Not a complaint… it was way better to have too cool than too hot! Enjoyable stay and would recommend.
