The room was cozy and made up to be very welcoming. Was it a bit rundown? Perhaps, but there were many touches that made up for that and the staff more than made up for it! They were warm, very friendly, accommodating, and ready to be helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay there again.
