Very clean rooms. very very comfortable beds and pillows very sweet staff. Their breakfast is decent with a couple hot options however they have a lot of other options like oatmeal, yogurt, bagels, and things like that that will suffice. Housekeeping is outstanding. Highly highly highly recommend especially for the price.

The toilet wouldn't flush and staff member name Heather said that I couldn't get something off of my stay because I did everything online but I paid at the hotel. I just got discussed because that's not sanitary and the plunger broke and I'm using it all of the while I was there.

When every other hotel gouged their rates for the graduation in town, they stayed decent on their rate. Always a reliable location to stay when we visit family. Close to everything. Even with the trains behind the hotel it’s quiet.

Room was only cleaned the first day but not again for the 4 more night we stayed. Had to go to desk to ask for towels. Bed was broken and was told maintenance would fix it and the frame came out from underneath the bed the next time someone sat on it. Lamp and alarm clock did not work either. Toilet seat was busted.
