The staff (Carla, Austin) and all others, provided excellent service and support during our stay. The room was clean and well-heated, which felt great when it was -3 degrees outside! The breakfast was adequate, given the circumstances. All of these observations are underscored by the very reasonable room rate. Great stay in Morgantown, and we'll be back!
