The listing undersold the view! Said the room had "city views". Didn't mention that the city had a lake in it, which we looked directly out on. Obviously that only worked because we were on the right side of the building and a ways up. It was an easy walk to several nearby restaurants, and of course, the lake.

I liked the reception desk clerk and the lady that was there with him. They turned us onto a great restaurant for dinner and were very helpful. I will definitely stay there again.

Great hotel for the price. Room was good; common areas a bit run down and dated. Felt a little sketchy around the hotel, but for the price it was a win.

The hotel and room was dated but clean. Front desk and check in was pleasant. Fall colors were nice from our balcony. The train noises late in the evening were disruptive.

Nice view, nice location, extremely uncomfortable
The room was quite dirty, I worried about getting in the shower. The ac was broken and it was sweltering. I called the front desk and they brought us a broken box fan. The view was great!

Beginning to show its age, clean, great location
Facility is beginning to show its age. Wall behind toilet had peeling paint, cracked bath tub, wall in bedroom had red splash stains (originally thought was blood, but trying to clean it, I believe now is nail polish). Facility was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Parking lot was large enough to handle our F150, and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Several homeless on streets, but had a fun stay.

The staff was. Great. Theey were helpful as they could be. The ac didnt work in the room for 2 days, sliding door only allowed 2 inches to be open, so limited fresh air. Microwave in room was very dirty, left over from last guest. Facilty is an old historical and does have alot of historical pictures . As a whole it could use some modifications. Room door didnt seem very secure at all. Wont stay there again.

The employee was a nice guy (William) however the room was very old and the bathtub had cracks everywhere in the bottom, and there was no drain stopper. We asked for another room and we're told that there were no more rooms. We were supposed to have a king suite, and were given a king room instead (like we wouldn't notice,) the water in the shower was hot then cold then scolding hot then cold
