Room was clean and large. Comfy bed. Very minimalist kind of room. Easy access off of 95, and couldn’t hear highway noise! Breakfast was lacking…never brewed a fresh pot of decaf coffee! They had homemade jam for English muffins.

Staff was nice, the room was fine but the towels are terrible. One “bath” towel and everything else was small. They did have a room for my son and his dog which was great.

This is a former motel that has been renovated to resemble more of today’s boutique style. Room was very nice and clean. Good value. We had a pizze delivered from a place in Watertown, I believe? Really good pizza, I think the front desk recommended.

The property was surprisingly high quality; and the staff was above-and-beyond pleasant, kind and helpful. It was a full night, and parking was a tad tricky but in the end not that bad. Really it's the staff that will have me coming back to this location!
