Stay was excellent! Breakfast was wonderful except would like to see a protein other than hard boiled eggs. There is a train that goes by a few times, but hotel can’t help that.

Oct 11, 2025

Hotel was very basic and good for the price and considering we only used the room to sleep. If you are spending any time in the room I would say to upgrade to a larger hotel. The rooms have been updated but the outlets are going to be a fire hazard if not updated. Our chargers would not stay in the majority of the outlets as they were very loose. Husband wanted me to bring that up as could be a fire hazard if left like that much longer.
