Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests praised the hotel's excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, and charming atmosphere. Many appreciated the clean rooms, comfortable beds, and secure parking. However, several reviews mentioned that the hotel is dated, with old decor and some cleanliness issues, particularly with carpets and odors. Some guests found the beds and pillows too soft or uncomfortable, and a few noted noise issues and lack of breakfast. Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience was positive for most, especially due to the service and unique character of the hotel.

Anonymous, Aug 2017
Cons (-) No house keeping at this property. Expect to walk into dirty room even if return to your room late in the evening. If you are lucky they will only make your bed, the rest either you chase the housekeeping to do or yout empty your own trash. No wonder why Sheraton cancelled it's franchise at this property.
