Very clean building, friendly staff there was a problem with the air in the first room, but the staff quickly got us into another room and had someone checking the air out in the first room. Great breakfast and fast easy checkout. Would most definitely stay here any time.

It was perfect for our overnight stay and super convenient to what we came to town to do. It was a little noisy as our room was on the frontside of the property, which is in front of a busy roadway.

This hotel was very nice. The staff was great! The free breakfast was AMAZING! They had an assortment of bagels, croissants, cinnamon rolls, cereals and pancakes. There was something for everyone! My ONLY complaint was that for the entire hotel and staff there is only 1 elevator. The hotel is only 4 floors but we waited for over 5 minutes for it each way a few times during our stay. Everything else about this hotel is great and I recommend but if you don’t have patience for longer than usual elevator waits I would stay elsewhere.
