The room was very clean. Decor was beautiful while the carpet was clean it was faded and showing its tired. The hotel itself was gorgeous! We had an excellent stay. Absolutely loved the off season pricing as it truly helps us who are retired and on fixed incomes. The breakfast with the eggs, cheesy potatoes, fresh doughnuts were a real hit!
