It’s a neat historic building used for events now. Starting to look like it needs some repairs and paint. But the history of the area is very interesting

Rooms were nice and clean and best free breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. Staff was very friendly!! Cheese and crackers social hour was nice too. Didn't make the ice cream social but I am sure that was nice too.
