Upon checking in, the young lady was very kind and quickly got us to our room as it was late at night. It was a little icy outside on the sidewalks so she made sure there was plenty of salt down there to keep people from slipping on it. She gave me a requested room on the second floor away from a lot of other noise and people that might be there

Bedroom window wouldnt lock!

Hotel and hotel room were kind of run down....not horrible but could use some touch ups and paint or more modern furniture in the rooms. There was no lock on our bedroom window on the first floor which was scary.
