The place is dated, but mostly OK. Good enough for a laid-back stay or as a jumping-off point to attractions nearby. Be sure to ask for exact costs including "anything else they plan to charge" upfront.

Rooms are large enough with sufficient storage for your stuff. They're fairly clean, though a bit dusty and drafty. Could heat all hallway noises and the door kept banging while closed. Electrical needs to be upgraded; there are plenty of outlets but some don't work, same concerning lamps. Beds were too soft and gave me a backache at first, though I got used to it after a while and found them restful. Street noise was reminiscent of a city at night rather than the countryside.
HVAC is old but works. H and C are preselected depending on the season, which can be inadequate with cold nights and hot days. The vent blows directly onto the bed, which was unpleasant.
Bathroom was adequate, but with only a single shelf for toothpaste, etc. The tub had just a hole for a drain (careful not to drop anything small) and shower walls had rust deposits. Plumbing needs upgrades.
Available wifi, but good luck getting a signal inside your room. Same for cable TV.
Onsite food selection is somewhat limited: e.g. eggs & bacon or the like for breakfast; however, it's well prepared. Daily buffet is advertised but not always available. Complimentary coffee in the foyer. Ample seating in the lobby.
Generally, staff was friendly and responsive, though it felt like the place could be better managed.
