Small but cozy
The hotel was close to amenities. The room was small but cozy. I have stayed here before and would stay here again. The only thing was the bathroom tap leaked.

Disliked: Amenities
The best thing about this property was the bed. The worst things were the awful TV set up. No guide and no way to know what is on. And no apologies for that. Having to pay a $10 deposit for a Kit Kat chocolate bar in a machine. Plus, the $150 security deposit seems excessive and assumes all guests are thieves. I guess they've had issues with this as there wasn't even a pen in the room. From the moment we checked in we felt like we were intruding on the time of the staff. This place has really changed since we were here 25 years ago. And the staff had nothing good to say about Expedia.

We love this hotel and haven't had an opportunity to come in the last couple of years. When we got there we found out that the pool was no longer open in September, that is the time we come after the business of the summer we come there when it is a nice weather weekend after labor day. Fortunately we were allowed to sit out by the pool but would have been much better if the pool were still open in September as it used to be. Other than that everything else was excellent.
