Ample (free) parking, interior decor was nice (historic hotel), lovely pool and play area, free breakfast was good (real plates and glasses, good coffee and food).
The first attempt to check in - didn't get checked in properly. So when we returned to the hotel around 11pm our room key didn't work and was occupied by someone else. Had to go talk to the front desk and get a different room (and be actually checked in).

The pool and amenities were fine and the free breakfast was a plus. The interior pool view rooms are nice.
The pool was shut down for almost the whole day on a Monday due to PH imbalances. Front desk said it was due to a busy weekend, but weren’t they monitoring that? Big bummer that our full day had the pool shut down. The pool area is nice when it isn’t packed with kids and there’s not huge puddles all over on the floor- good luck with that if you stay on a weekend. They have a lot of outdated furniture and it was scattered around, not placed purposefully, especially outside.

Upcharge because at the desk it was $40 cheaper. That’s where I should have booked instead of on booking

"Loved the room - extra space to have the dog. Also right next to the exit to take her out.
Lovely dinner at the restaurant - good food, wine, service and friendly conversation with local staff.
