Nice place to stay
You can tell this is an old hotel that has been remodeled. The AC controls are on the unit attached to the window. There was hair in my shower, but overall was a nice place to stay. Staff was nice and breakfast was good.

Friendly staff
Nice hotel. Very clean with the most attentive breakfast staff I've seen anywhere I've traveled. Both ladies were quick to help my daughter get the food she wanted, vigilant to wipe tables between parties, and constantly refilled dishes. Other staff were also friendly and always offered a "Good morning!" like they meant it. The pool felt more like a hot tub than a refreshing place to cool off...not sure if there’s anything to be done when the outside temperature is so high. Despite an elevator outage I was warned about before staying, service didn't suffer.
